Aliou Cissé put an end to the suspense: yes, the coach of the Senegal team has retained Sadio Mané, his superstar, for the 2022 World Cup (November 20-December 18 in Qatar).
The technician, who has selected 26 players for this World Cup in Qatar, gave some details about the striker, injured in the last match of Bayern Munich, his club.
“
We are following him.
We sent the doctor of the Senegalese Federation to Germany, since yesterday or the day before yesterday
, recalled Aliou Cissé, during a tense press conference.
Yesterday he spent the whole day in Munich and then he went to Austria, again to push the examinations for the boy's health.
The good news today is that there is no operation.
Then we gave ourselves the opportunity to meet again next week.
The injury will affect (sic) a week or 10 days.
From there, we will do another control MRI to see the evolution of this injury.
I preferred to keep him in the group because it is a situation that we have already experienced, to a lesser degree, with Ismaïla Sarr at CAN 2021. We were able to manage it well.
Sadio is a special player in our squad.
So, it is important to continue to follow his injury, hoping that within two or three weeks, there will be an evolution.
But we are really optimistic
”.
But the technician reminds that he can change a player from the group before the first match, scheduled for November 21 against the Netherlands, in group A.
