Senegal boss gives update on Sadio Mane

Now the confirmation is there: Sadio Mane will miss the start of the World Cup. He could only play a serious role in the tournament if Senegal progress through the group stage.

There were fears that Sadio Mane would miss the tournament in Qatar after suffering an injury in the penultimate game before the World Cup. A huge shock for Senegal, after all, the Bayern star is the most important player in his nation.

The Africans didn’t want their star to lose the World Cup and nominated Mane despite his injury. They were hoping for a miracle cure.

But a few days before the first game, Senegal has to admit that they have to play at least the first few games without Mane. “We have to tell the Senegalese what’s going on: Sadio is injured. We have to deal with it and not whine too much,” confirmed Senegal’s Vice President Abdoulaye Sow (via L’Equipe) the failure of the offensive player. “We have to rely on the first few games without Sadio and win without Sadio.”

So it seems extremely questionable that Mane can play for his country in the preliminary round. A deployment in the knockout round, which begins on December 3rd, is realistic, if at all. Senegal are in a group with hosts Qatar, the Netherlands and Ecuador, so there’s a good chance of progressing.
