West Ham striker Sakho slams Senegal coach Giresse: No courage!

West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho is furious being overlooked by Senegal coach Alain Giresse.

Sakho, who has scored six goals in as many starts for West Ham, last played for Senegal in a friendly against Kosovo last May but has since been overlooked by Giresse.

Sakho said: "When I signed for West Ham, he [Giresse] phoned me and said that as I was changing clubs he will want to see how it goes.

"But then I started scoring goal after goal and many people in Senegal asked for my call-up.

"I didn't hear from him. It is a lack of courage."
