Sadio Mane left in the 20th minute of Bayernâs 6-1 thrashing of Werder Bremenwith what appeared to be an injury; this was a crucial match because it came less than two weeks before the start of the World Cup. After the game, the Bavariansâ manager Julian Nagelsmann said the 30-year-old will get an X-ray to determine the extent of his injury.
Consequently, many people in his native country likely held their breath when the forward was replaced early in Tuesdayâs game.An even worse setback for Senegalhadbeen reported by the French media source LâEquipe, who saidthat the forwardâs injury was too severe for him to participate in the event.
The left winger is the teamâs most recognizable player and would have loved to help his team succeed in the World Cup. Unfortunately, he didnât recover from his injury and was cut byAliou Cisse from the final 26-man list.
