Mane named in Senegal squad for World Cup Despite Injury

Mane will be on the Senegal team for the World Cup in Qatar, despite the fact he suffered recent injuries while playing against SV Werder Bremen in Germany. Mane had an injury that caused damage to his right fibula. (His team, FC Bayern Munich, beat Bayern 6-1.)

Senegal Head Coach Aliou Cisse has expressed his fears that star forward Sadio Mane might not recover in time for their opening game at the FIFA World Cup. Senegal suffered a major setback when Mane limped off during Bayern Munich’s game against Werder Bremen after just 20 minutes.

The star Senegalese footballer, who is 30, made headlines earlier this year for kicking his team to the Africa Cup of Nations; he also had a decisive penalty kick for the World Cup qualification. He is considered one of the most prolific African players and is known for scoring 34 times in a Senegal shirt.

Senegalese coach Aliou Cissé, who named Mane among the 26-man squad that would represent Senegal, said he was confident that Mane could recover from his injuries in time to play at the tournament.

Cissé also shared that the chosen players were selected because they were in line with the team’s principles.
