Add BBN on 2BAFB965
In-form Demba Ba has been left out of the Senegalese Afcon squad.
Despite a fine goalscoring run of 16 goals in 19 games for Besiktas, the former Chelsea striker was not picked by coach Alain Giresse
The striker who is currently in the best form of his career has been left out by the head coach, with the tournament set to get under way in Equatorial Guinea in January.
Demba was not included in the party for their final qualifiers against Egypt and Botswana last month. At the time the coach Giresse claimed the player was injured, which the player publicly refused .
Ba's former Newcastle team-mate Papiss Cisse could well provide Senegal's main goal threat, while the likes of West Ham's Diafra Sakho and Stoke City's Mame Biram Diouf are also included as forward options.
The news will come as a welcome boost for Besiktas, who could have been without the striker until the final on February 8.
The france born striker will be with his club side through out the 2015 AFCON.
