Senegal coach Alain Giresse is reaffirming that no team in the the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations 'Group of Death' is negligible and he is wary of accommodation in Mongomo where the Group C matches will be played.

The draw on Wednesday night placed his team in Group C alongside Algeria, Ghana and South Africa of the tournament in Equatorial Guinea next month.

“It’s going to be very difficult in Group C. Senegal need to be at their best form to qualify from the group,” Giresse said on Thursday.

“You cannot overlook any of the sides in Group C. Nobody seems to be favourite as anything can happen there.

"We’ll quickly settle on our list of players and start preparations immediately.

“Secondly, we are concerned about the accommodation conditions in Mongomo, where Group C will be based.

"We don’t have any information on hotel facilities and so we are very worried,” he said.

The Teranga Lions will open their campaign against Ghana on January 19, 2015 at the Estadio de Mongomo.
