Confirmed! Mane Out Of World Cup

By Daily Sports Nigeria on November 18, 2022

Senegal forward Sadio Mane is out of the World Cup due to a leg injury he sustained while playing for Bayern Munich.

The 30-year-old picked up an injury to his right fibula in Bayern’s 6-1 Bundesliga win over Werder Bremen last Tuesday.

Despite the injury, Mane was named in Senegal’s 26-man squad for the World Cup but the former Liverpool forward will not feature in Qatar after being unable to recover from the injury.

On Tuesday, Senegal’s football federation said Mane would miss their “first games” of the tournament but head coach Aliou Cisse will now have to plan without his star man.

The reigning Africa Cup of Nations champions start their World Cup campaign against the Netherlands on Monday.

That is followed by Group A games against hosts Qatar on November 25 and Ecuador on November 29.

Mane was crucial in Senegal’s first-ever AFCON win in February as he scored the winning penalty as the Teranga Lions beat Egypt in a penalty shootout in the final.
