Senegal's defence has been bolstered by the return of Salif Sane for the Africa Cup of Nations final against Algeria in Cairo on Friday, July 19, 2019.
Alongside Sane, Cheikhou Kouyate will also feature in Senegal's defence, with Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly suspended.
Senegal's team has undergone some changes since their opening game of the tournament, with Sane initially partnering Koulibaly before losing his place to Kouyate following an ankle injury in the 2-0 win over Tanzania.
However, Sane has now regained his place in the team, with Ismaila Sarr also recalled after being used off the bench in the semi-final victory over Tunisia.
Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi has stuck with the same team that overcame Nigeria 2-1 to reach their first final since winning the tournament as hosts in 1990.
Here are the starting line-ups for Friday's Africa Cup of Nations final between Senegal and Algeria at Cairo International Stadium:
Senegal: Alfred Gomis; Lamine Gassama, Cheikhou Kouyate (capt), Salif Sane, Youssouf Sabaly; Idrissa Gueye, Badou Ndiaye, Henri Saivet; Ismaila Sarr, Sadio Mane, Mbaye Niang
