Senegal’s Sadio Mane to miss 2022 World Cup tournament

Sadio Mane will unfortunately not partake in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The Senegalese has been left injured following Bayern Munich’s league game on Tuesday, November 8.

Mane went down on 15 minutes and had to be replaced by Leroy Sane.

“He’ll have to have an X-ray to see what’s happened. He took a blow to his tibial plateau [the head of the shin]. It’s a painful spot,” said Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann.

It comes just 13 days before Mane’s Senegal play their first game at the 2022 World Cup against the Netherlands.

Bayern, meanwhile, cruised to victory with Serge Gnabry scoring a hat-trick.

However, French newspaper, L’Equipe reports the Senegal starman will not be available for the Mundial to be staged in Qatar.

The former Liverpool player is reported to be suffering from a tendon and is expected to miss several weeks of competition.

Senegal coach Aliou Cissé is due to announce his list of players who will go to Qatar on Friday.
