Bayern Munich – Werder Bremen – Mané leaves on injury with Bayern, 12 days before the World Cup

Sadio Mané’s turn to have cold sweats. 12 days before the World Cup, the Senegalese striker had to leave his place during Bayern’s match against Werder Bremen on Tuesday. Hit in the knee a quarter of an hour into the game, the Senegalese lay down on the lawn before trying, at first, to resume the match. But he quickly signaled to his trainer Julian Nagelsmann to replace him. Simple precaution or real concern, it will probably be necessary to wait a little to see more clearly.

German international Leroy Sané entered in his place for this 14th day of the Bundesliga, the penultimate before the departure for the World Cup in Qatar (November 20-December 18). Second behind Karim Benzema in the 2022 Ballon d’Or standings, Sadio Mané is the star of Senegal, winner of the African Cup in early February, Champions League finalist with Liverpool in June, before joining Munich in the summer . The Teranga Lions start their World Cup on November 21 against the Netherlands. The 2022 African champions are in Group A, along with hosts Qatar, the Netherlands and Ecuador.
