Strong defensive display in loss
Gueye registered two tackles (two won) in Tuesday's 3-1 loss against France.
Analysis: Gueye was a strong defensive presence in the midfield as Senegal fell to a 3-1 defeat against France. He played 88 minutes before some more attacking substitutions with a few minutes to go. he won both of his tackles and completed 56 of his 61 tackles as he marshalled the midfield. He did concede one foul in the game but didn't receive a booking.
Comes off bench versus Saudi Arabia
Gueye (undisclosed) made a 13-minute appearance during Tuesday's international friendly against Saudi Arabia.
Analysis: Gueye saw limited minutes in his first official outing since April 25, when he got hurt while playing for Everton. The veteran midfielder is now a strong option to increase the Senegalese national team's strength in terms of ground duels and ball recovery. However, his offensive upside may not be significant even if he gets plenty of time on the pitch. On the other hand, Lamine Camara is likely to see his involvement reduced with Gueye back in action.
