Senegal coach Amara Traore, who on Tuesday extended his contract for three more years after deep anxieties, named his 2012 Africa Cup of Nations list on Wednesday at a press conference in Dakar.<\/span><\/p>\n

The squad includes nearly all the players who helped Senegal achieve a brilliant qualification ahead of Cameroon and DR Congo. Former French junior internationals Cheikh Mbengue and Armand Traore, who both recently made nationality switch, were also called up to add fresh blood to the Lions\u2019 mellowing defence manned by Marseille\u2019s 33-year-old Souleymane Diawara.<\/span><\/p>\n

Newcastle\u2019s top striker Demba Ba, Wigan\u2019s Mohamed Diame, Birmingham\u2019s Guirane Ndaw and Mustapha Bayal Sall of Doincaster Rovers are the notable England-based players on the list.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team\u2019s top scorers Mamadou Niang, Issiar Dia, Moussa Sow and Papiss Cisse are also on board.<\/span><\/p>\n

Senegal will be fine tuning at home from January 8, with pre-tournament friendlies against Sudan on January 12 and Tunisia on January 14, in Dakar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although many pundits deem the West African team as top favourites for next year\u2019s showpiece, coach Traore says they are only underdogs \u201cheading for the Gabon \/ Equatorial 2012 as an ordinary team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Pitted against Zambia, Libya and co-hosts Equatorial Guinea in Group A, the Teranga Lions will begin their campaign against the Chipolopolo on January 21.<\/span><\/p>\n
