Just a few days before the World Cup in Qatar starts, the nightmare of any footballer is to suffer an injury that prevents him from joining his team. The last to receive this pitcher of cold water was Sadio Mané. The Senegalese striker had to withdraw with discomfort from his last game with Bayern Munich and, despite the fact that at first the Bavarian club downplayed the injury, today L'Equipe rules out his presence in the most important event of the year.
Mané noticed discomfort during Tuesday night's game against Werder Bremen, which Bayern took with a crushing rout (6-1. The Senegalese striker left the match after twenty minutes of the game and was able to get out on his own foot "Sadio Mane received a blow to the leg, which caused him a little pain in the nerves. Nothing too serious and his participation in the World Cup should not be in danger", Bayern assistant Dino Toppmoeller reassured .
Nagelsmann wanted to be more cautious: “I can't say anything for sure, he received a blow to the head of the shin. That's a nasty spot, he radiates a little bit into the muscles. It has to go through X-rays to see if there is something there, but I hope that nothing happens”.
This Wednesday, L'Equipe assures that the footballer suffers from tendon problems that will keep him off the pitch for "several weeks", for which he would miss the World Cup that starts on November 20 in Qatar, in which he had to being the great star of Senegal, winner of the African Cup in January with Mané being established as the best player of the tournament. In addition, last month he finished second in the Ballon d'Or, behind Real Madrid player Karim Benzema.
It will be a heavy loss for Senegal coach Aliou Cissé, who is due to reveal his squad for the tournament later this week. Senegal, in group A, faces Ecuador, the Netherlands and the host, Qatar.
