The former Liverpool forward limped off during Bayern Munich’s clash against Werder Bremen with a tendon injury.
He was taken off just 20 minutes into Bayern’s 6-1 win over Bremen on Tuesday night – leading to huge fears about his fitness for Qatar less than two weeks before the tournament.
DailyMail quoted L’Equipe as reporting that the forward will play no part in the competition for Senegal, dealing his nation a massive blow.
Mane is believed to have suffered a tendon injury, L’Equipe adds, and is set for ‘several weeks out’, handing his national team coach Aliou Cisse a major headache just days before announcing his World Cup squad.
Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann said Mane would have an X-ray to determine the extent of the injury.
