JAKARTA - Sadio Mane certainly could not take part in defending the Senegal national team at the 2022 World Cup. The injury that never recovered was the main cause of Mane being absent from defending the team.

Mane suffered a right fibula bone injury while defending Bayern Munich. This news is a major blow to the Senegal national team, which previously expressed optimism.

Les Lions previously confirmed that Mane could appear and would only miss the opening match of the 2022 World Cup. However, the latest circumstances state that Mane's injury must be handled by operating.

With the schedule for the 2022 World Cup which will soon roll out in a few days, the operating schedule makes Mane have to forget his dream of appearing in Qatar.

"Unfortunately, today's MRI examination shows that the recovery process is not what we expected and we regret to say Sadio had to miss the World Cup," said Senegal team doctor Manuel Afonso.

Due to Mane's situation, the Senegal Football Federation (FSF) can only hope that the recovery from operations that must be carried out by Mane can run quickly.

"FSF expects a quick recovery for its player Sadio Mane", the FSB said, quoted from Livescore.

Sadio Mane is Senegal's biggest hope of lifting their name at the 2022 World Cup. With Sadio Mane, Senegal won the Africa Cup of Nations this year.

At the 2022 World Cup, Senegal is in Group A with the Netherlands, Ecuador, and hosts Qatar. Senegal will start their struggle with a duel against the Dutch in the inaugural match on November 21.
