Senegal forward Sadio Mane will miss his team's 'first games' at the World Cup because of a leg injury, a Senegal soccer federation board member said Tuesday.
Bayern Munich's Sadio Mane speaks after winning the Socrates Award during the 66th Ballon d'Or ceremony at Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, France, Monday, Oct. 17, 2022. Senegal forward Sadio Mane will miss his team's "first games" at the World Cup because of a leg injury, a Senegal soccer federation board member said Tuesday.
"We will have to rely on playing the first games without Sadio and win without Sadio because we have 25 players apart from Sadio," Sow said. "No one would have wanted it, but that's what's happened to us." Mane was injured a week ago in a German league game between Bayern and Werder Bremen. He was substituted in the 20th minute of Bayern's 6-1 win. Bayern said the two-time African player of the year has an injury to the head of the fibula bone in his lower right leg.
