Nicolas Jackson played 22 minutes, while Mamadou Sarr played 82 as the Chelsea duo featured in a 0-0 draw between Senegal and Saudi Arabia.

It’s believed that Xabi Alonso intends to integrate Jackson into his squad for Chelsea‘s pre-season, where he will make a decision on him.
Meanwhile, Mamadou Sarr will be looking to work his way into the good books of the Spaniard after struggling for game time upon returning from his Strasbourg loan last season.
