- Soccerbase incorrectly states that Sarr came on in the League One match Vs. Walsall on 26 September 2017 in a 2-2 draw. He was, in fact, an unused substitute for this game meaning his total league appearances for Charlton Athletic is 95 not 96. This non-appearance is confirmed at both Charlton Athletic's website and via the BBC.[3]
- One appearance in the UEFA Europa League
- Two appearances in the UEFA Europa League
- Four appearances in the UEFA Champions League
- Two appearances in the EFL Trophy and one in the League One play-offs
- Two appearances in the EFL Trophy and three in the League One play-offs
