World Cup 2022: Will injury prevent Sadio Mane from participating in the World Cup?

As soon as he was injured from the stadium, Mane did not sit on the bench and went directly to the tunnel leading to the exit from the stadium to receive the necessary treatment.

The ex-Liverpool star is one of the main elements in the ranks of the Senegal team, the holder of the African Nations Cup, which will face the Netherlands in its opening match in Group A on November 21, before playing against the host country Qatar, and then Ecuador.

The decisive penalty kick scored by Mane led Senegal to beat Egypt on penalties in the final match of the African Nations Cup, to win Senegal the continental title for the first time in its history, earlier this year.

Despite concerns about the two-time African Footballer of the Year award, Bayern Munich assistant coach Dino Topmüller later downplayed the extent of the injury.

“Nothing is too dangerous, and his participation in the World Cup should not be in danger,” he said.

Jamal Musiala scored Bayern Munich’s first goal in the match after five minutes, but Werder Bremen quickly equalized through Anthony Young.

Bayern Munich responded harshly, scoring three goals in just eight minutes (a goal by Leon Goretzka, and two for Gnabry), to advance the Bavarian giant by four goals to one goal after just 30 minutes.

Things could have been worse for the away team, but goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka saved Eric Maxim Chubo-Moting’s penalty.

Bayern’s performance declined in the final stages of the match, before Gnabry scored his third goal in the 82nd minute, and young French player Matisse Tal added the sixth goal.
