Injured Mane still in Munich ahead of WC opener

Lions of Teranga face the Dutch in their WC opener this Monday 

Update : 17 Nov 2022, 10:16 PM

Sadio Mane is still in Munich recovering from injury while Senegal prepare for their opening match of the World Cup, a source from the country's football association told AFP Thursday.

Bayern Munich star Mane was not present at Thursday's training session with his national team due to a right fibula injury he picked up during a 6-1 thumping of Werder Bremen earlier this month.

Senegal begin their Group A campaign this Monday against the Netherlands, before also taking on hosts Qatar and Ecuador.

Mane's fitness has been a major cause of concern for Senegal, who claimed their maiden Africa Cup of Nations title in February.

The 30-year old finished second in this year's Ballon d'Or voting behind Karim Benzema and scored the winning penalty in a dramatic shootout victory against Egypt in Cameroon. 

He repeated the feat again against the same opponents to qualify the Lions of Teranga for the World Cup, which starts this Sunday.
