Big Update As Top Official Reveals When Mane Will Be Back for Senegal at the World Cup

Abdoulaye Sow who is a member of the Senegalese Football Federation has delivered a cheering update claiming that Sadio Mane will still be available to play at the World Cup.

There have been serious concerns over the availability of Sadio Mane for Senegal at the World Cup when he got injured while playing for Bayern Munich.

The news going round since last week was that Mane won't be able to be part of the Senegalese team for the World Cup due to the injury he sustained until the name of the former Liverpool star was included in the final list.

There were also reports that Senegal are planning to consult witch doctors towards helping them on the fitness of Mane.

According to the latest report on ESPN, Sow has given a cheering news claiming that Sadio Mane will still feature at the World Cup.

Statement made by Abdoulaye Sow

"We will have to rely on playing the first games without Sadio and win without Sadio because we have 25 players apart from Sadio.''

Senegal will first play against Netherlands at the World Cup on Monday, 21 November, and will then face Qatar on 25th.

Frank Lampard predicts

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Everton boss Frank Lampard made his prediction for African teams in the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.

Lampard coaches a few African players at the Toffees, and although some are not going to the tournament, he predicted a good tournament for the teams representing the continent.

The Englishman played 106 times for the Three Lions but did not have a lot of success at the World Cup. According to the Evening Standard, he represented England in one European championship and three World Cups.

African teams performed poorly in the 2014 and 2018 World Cup. The last time an African team went past the Round of 16 was in 2010. Ghana reached the quarter-final, famously losing to Uruguay on penalties.

Lampard, who formed a devasting partnership with arguably the greatest African player of all time, Didier Drogba, said Senegal will perform well.
