While everyone expected his return to the selection after his troubles in his absence against Guinea and Angola and Liberia, Demba Ba has not been convened by Giresse on a list of 25 players called to face Zambia in the friendly match of August 14.
“I will never force a player to come into the selection. Demba Ba has not showed a willingness to get back. So I also have not tried to see him “, says Alain Giresse questioned about the absence of the player. A consideration which does not reflect any reality that the “difficult” relationship between Ba and the French coach of the Lions is solved. The relationship became even more complicated between the two men since the end of the match Senegal – Angola in Guinea in the late March.
Indeed, in addition to play a small game, Demba Ba had missed the opportunity to win by missing a mere penalty. Since then he is zapped by Giresse. “The two men no longer speak, no longer called or exchange mails “, said some sources. Anyway, it was true because on Thursday a list of 25 players and in addition to the absence of Papis Demba Cissé (suspended for the next match of the Lions), Demba Ba is forgotten.
A situation that adds to the current difficulties of the player with the arrival of Mourinho (“must redouble 200% of his efforts to expect a confident place in the club“).

The rumors about his departure are increasing. Even though he wants to stay at Chelsea.
