His Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann has said, ‘He took a knock to the head of his tibia,’… ‘It’s always uncomfortable. He has to have an X-ray. I hope nothing is wrong.” According to L’Equipe, the player will not be fit for the Qatar 2022 competition which is a big blow for Senegal and Africa as a whole.
Mane joined Bayern for a few of £35million and has been scored 11 goals, assisting 4 times in 23 appearances in all competitions for the German club.
