Senegal star Sadio Mane is set to miss the World Cup 2022 through injury, according to reports.

The former Liverpool forward, who joined Bayern Munich in the summer, was forced off during last night’s 6-1 victory over Werder Bremen.

Bayern’s assistant coach Dino Toppmoller had suggested after the game that Mane had been “hit on the leg” and that the injury was “not too serious” but manager Julian Nagelsmann suggested scans would be needed to determine the extent of the injury.

“That’s an unpleasant spot, it radiates a bit into the muscles,” Nagelsmann said. “I think he has to go to the X-ray to see if there is something there, because it is splintering easily. But I hope that nothing is wrong. I can’t say anything for sure yet.”

Reporting on Wednesday morning, French outlet L’Equipe claim Mane has now been ruled out of the tournament, which would be a huge blow to a Senegal side he inspired to Africa Cup of Nations glory earlier this year.

Mane scored the winning penalty in that tournament’s final shootout against Egypt, who Senegal also saw off in a playoff to secure a place in Qatar.

In Group A alongside the Netherlands, Ecuador and the host nation, Senegal are a possible last-16 opponent for England, who play in Group B with Wales, USA and Iran.

Almost all player done miss world cup. Who is next?

.

Sad for Sadio .

All these last minute fixtures are ill-timed. Imagine have EPL fixtures on the 13th & World Cup starts on the 20th.
World Cup bound players have to take the games very easy else any injury automatically rules you out of the soccer fiesta.

Big miss for Senegal

Senegal will miss him so badly, get well soon Mane.


If Fifa against all odds, can adjust its rule and stage world Cup in November, who are we to be inflicting pain on other in the name of upholding principle.

Let all learn from fifa, sometime we need to adjust to accommodate others or make them happy. Take life simple.
