Demba Ba (L) and Papiss Cisse celebrate a goal for Newcastle United
Chelsea striker Demba Ba is expected to lead the Senegal frontline with former Newcastle teammate Papiss Cisse in this month's World Cup qualifier against Angola.
The pair were named in Senegal's 23-man squad and are likely to play together for the first time in the qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Senegal boss Alain Giresse has named a full strength squad for the match on March 23, with the addition of Pape Gueye and Lamine Gassama to the squad after they were left out of last month's friendly against Guinea.
Senegal lead the qualification group by two points and are under FIFA orders to play their home match in neutral Conakry, Guinea because of a year-long home ban after violence in Dakar last October during an African Nations Cup qualifier against Ivory Coast.
The full 23-man list is as follows:
Goalkeepers : Bouna Coundoul, Ousmane Mané, Cheikh Tidiane Ndiaye.
Defenders : Bayal Sall, Cheikhou Kouaye, Lamine Gassama, Lamine Sané, Cheikh Mbengue, Armand Traoré, Zarko Toure, Pape Gueye
Midfielders: Mouhamed Diame, Pape Couly Diop, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Rémi Gomis, Issiar Dia, Sadio Mane
Forwards: Abdoulaye Sane, Mame Birame Diouf, Moussa Sow, Issiar Dia, Demba Ba, Papiss Demba Cisse, Dame Ndoye
