  • The former Liverpool star was seen wearing traditional attire to Al-Nassr training

Sadio Mane has continued to portray that he comes from Africa, as he returned to Al-Nassr training after the international break in traditional Senegalese attire.

The former Liverpool star was busy over the international break, as he attended the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations draw held in Abidjan at the Parc Des Expositions before he joined the Teranga Lions for their friendly match against Cameroon.

The 31-year-old winger scored the only goal as the Teranga Lions claimed a deserving victory over the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon at the Stade Bollaerts-Delelis in France on Monday, October 16.

In a viral video and photos shared on social media, the former Bayern Munich forward appeared at Al-Nassr training in an all-blue traditional dress as he greeted his coach Luis Castro and teammate Aymeric Laporte.

Mane will resume training fully with the other players on international duty tomorrow (October 19) as they prepare for their next league game.

The Senegal international has been impressive since moving to the Middle Eastern nation in the summer from Germany.

The Knights of Najd will face Damac in their next Saudi Pro League fixture at the Al-Awwal Park on Saturday, October 21, according to Soccerway.

Castro's side need a win to put more pressure on league leaders Al-Hilal, who face Al-Khaleej at home.

Sports Brief earlier reported that Mane displayed his true African heritage as he arrived at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations draw in his Senegal-made Kaftan.

The 31-year-old was one of the players selected to assist the draw, which was held in Abidjan at the Parc Des Expositions.

Mane led Senegal to their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations title in 2022 after he scored the winning penalty against the Pharaohs of Egypt in the final last year.
