Sadio Mane is likely to miss the World Cup which is in a few days’ time after he left the game against Werder Bremen after just 20 minutes due to an injury, and head coach Julian Nagelsmann said it was a tibia problem.
A report by GOAL indicates that Mane had some tests this morning, and the results determined a 3- to the 4-week first recovery period.
The international player from Senegal will undergo additional testing to determine the recuperation period and his chances of competing in the World Cup.
Even if it is not yet certain, it is extremely likely that he won’t make the tournament. Mane won’t be available for this weekend’s Bundesliga match against Schalke, Bayern has announced in an official statement. “Right fibula damage was sustained by Sadio Mane during FC Bayern’s 6:1 victory over Werder Bremen.
The statement states, “‘Africa’s Footballer of the Year’ is out for this Saturday’s game against FC Schalke. “Further examinations will come in the coming days. FC Bayern will exchange information with the Senegalese Football Association’s medical department.”
