7 Days Towards The 2022 World Cup: Break Asa Injure Mane, Senegal Will Use Dukun Services
JAKARTA - Bayern Munich's 6-1 victory over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Tuesday produced far more important news than its final result. Sadio Mane suffered a right fibula injury and is feared to miss the 2022 World Cup.
The closer the kick-off of the World Cup in Qatar, which started on Sunday 20 November, makes it even more difficult to recover. Neither the Senegal federation nor the Bayern Munich officially excluded it from the tournament.
As Africa's best defending champion, Mane is likely to be one of 26 selected players, if there is a miracle, a source in confirming it to French news agency AFP.
The Secretary General of FIFA Fatma Samoura from Senegal also conveyed the same thing. But with a very urgent feel.
Decisions over the possibility of Mane's absence in Qatar led them to use unconventional methods.
"We will use a shaman. I don't know [whether it is effective), but we will continue to use it," Samoura told the European 1 radio.
"Hopefully there will be a miracle. He must be there (Qatar)."
If Bayern Munich striker is taken to the World Cup, he will arrive with little training and perhaps in poor physical condition. The Bavarian club announced yesterday in a statement that Mane would miss the match against Schalke on Saturday.
Further tests will be carried out in the coming days to determine the full level of Mane's injury. This is a difficult situation for former Liverpool players.
