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.
