Senegal undoubtedly feared the worst on Tuesday evening. His star striker, Sadio Mané, was released on injury in the 21st minute of the match between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen. After a duel, the former Liverpool player indeed lay down on the lawn before trying to resume the game to finally resolve to give way to Leroy Sane.
12 days from the World Cup, there is no worse time to get injured. But the staff of Bayern Munich reassured the Senegalese supporters. Dino Topmöllerthe assistant coach of Julian Nagelsman in the technical staff of Bayern Munich, explained that “Sadio Mané was hit in the leg and it gave him some nerve pain, but it’s nothing serious. His participation in the World Cup is not in danger“.
For his part, Julian Nagelsmann was less categorical than his assistant. “I can’t say anything with certainty yet, only the pictures should be able to clarify the situation. He got hit on the top of the shin, that’s a boring place“.
Senegal begins its World Cup on November 21 against the Netherlands. The 2022 African champions are in Group A, along with hosts Qatar, the Netherlands and Ecuador.
