Mane was in terrific form for the Teranga Lions as they thrashed Mozambique 5-1 at the Abdoulaye Wade stadium last Friday. The 30-year-old forward scored in the big win.

The African champions will seal qualification to next year's Africa Cup of Nations if they beat Mozambique on Tuesday in Maputo.

Mane led Senegal to their first-ever AFCON title in Cameroon last year, scoring the winning penalty against Egypt. He repeated the feat in the World Cup qualifiers play-off.

However, injury ruled the winger out of the tournament played in Qatar.
