Mohamed Diame ready for Team GB

Senegal midfielder Mohamed Diame has insisted that his nation can spring a surprise against Team GB on Thursday.

The West Ham United midfielder, who is expected to start in the Group A encounter, believes that Senegal have a strong chance.

"It's good for us to start against them because it will take time for the British players to get to know each other properly. If we can start well then we have a great chance to go to the quarter-finals," he told the BBC.

Diame has 12 international caps to his name.
