Days before the tournament kicked off, Mane was injured. Despite all efforts to recover before the Mundial, he was unavailable and this proved a big blow for Senegal.

Following their win over Senegal in the round of 16, the Three Lions have now secured a place in the quarter-finals where they will tackle reigning world champions, France.

En route to the last 8, Les Bleus were in fascinating form, beating Poland 3-1 which included a Kylian Mbappe brace.
