Diouf played zero minutes for Senegal at this year's Afcon finals
Senegal's reserve goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf has joked about his unique role of protecting his team-mate's towel in his side's chaotic Afcon final victory on Sunday.
Diouf, 26, was an unused substitute during the final in Rabat but played a key role in Senegal's second continental triumph in five years amid extraordinary circumstances.
In the torrential conditions, ex-Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy was regularly required to dry his gloves.
It was a task that was made much harder by Morocco repeatedly trying to discard the 33-year-old's towel, a tactic they were also seen to deploy in the semi-final win against Nigeria.
