Keane declares Chelsea keeper Mendy as Senegal's 'weak link'

Chelsea and Senegal star Edouard Mendy has been described as his team's weak link by Manchester United legend Roy Keane.

Mendy and Senegal were beaten 3-0 at the World Cup round of 16 stage by England on Sunday.

While Mendy did commit any serious errors, he was not at his best either, as his nation made a tame exit from the competition.

Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane, and Bukayo Saka struck the goals for England.

Speaking pre-game, Keane said on ITV: "You never underestimate a team but never overestimate them either.

“England have got a good starting 11 and looks strong on paper.

“You mentioned there, goalkeepers, Senegal, I think he [Mendy] is a weak link for them, not great."
