Sadio Mane will not play at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar

On Tuesday evening, Sadio Mane started in the match of Bayern Munich in the company of Werder Bremen, which was easily won by the champion of Germany (6:1).

The 30-year-old Senegal international lasted just 20 minutes, being replaced by Leroy Sane after an injury ruled him out.

Although Bayern’s medical staff assured Mane’s injury was not serious, daily l’Equipe confirmed on Wednesday that Sadio Mane will not be able to play at the World Cup in Qatar.

It is a huge loss for the Africa Cup of Nations winners as Sadio Mane is the most important player in Aliou Cisse’s squad.
