For the second consecutive time, Stephane Sessegnon has not appeared in Michel Dussuyer’s plans. Benin’s coach did not call the top scorer in Ecureuils history to face Lesotho in the 2021 AFCON playoffs.

For good reason, the captain of Benin is without club since the beginning of the summer. Last month already, he was absent against Gabon in friendly.

Without the former Parisian, Benin however set up a classic squad. From Saturnin Allagbé to Steve Mounié, including Jordan Adeoti, Emmanuel Imorou and Mama Seibou.

Benin, second in their qualifying group, will face Lesotho in Porto Novo on 14 November before moving to Maseru on 17 November.
