Idrissa Gueye est visé par des critiques en France après le refus qui lui est prêté de s'associer à la lutte contre l'homophobie et d'arborer un maillot arc-en-ciel. Comme l'année dernière, le joueur du PSG n'a pas joué samedi lors de la journée dédiée à la lutte contre l'homophobie, une nouvelle défection qui lui a attiré des critiques en France, mais aussi des soutiens dans son pays, le Sénégal.

«Je soutiens Idrissa Gana Gueye. Ses convictions religieuses doivent être respectées», a déclaré le président Macky Sall. Au Sénégal, Gana Gueye et ses collègues de la sélection sont adulés. Le joueur du PSG a fait partie de l'équipe qui a remporté en février au Cameroun la première coupe d'Afrique des Nations (CAN) du pays, face à l'Égypte.
