FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against West Ham and Diafra Sakho after the Senegal striker missed the Africa Cup of Nations, but still turned out for his club.
Sakho withdrew from the tournament in Equatorial Guinea due to a back problem, but came on as a substitute to score the winner in West Ham’s FA Cup fourth round tie at Bristol City before his country were knocked out of the AFCON.
The Senegal Football Federation lodged a complaint with FIFA after hearing of Sakho’s involvement in that match and coach Alain Giresse claimed West Ham had set a “dangerous precedent” by opting to select the 25-year-old.
