Concern for Senegal National Team As Sadio Mané Taken Off During Bayern Munich’s Fixture Against Werder Bremen

• Sadio Mané was taken off in the 20th minute during Bayern Munich's match against Werder Bremen
• Mané walked straight down the tunnel after his substitution after picking up an injury in the game
• Senegal are hoping that Mané's injury is not severe and that he will be fit in time for the World Cup

Fans across Africa, and Senegal in particular, will be sweating about the fitness of Sadio Mané.

The Senegalese striker, who finished second behind Karim Benzema in the Ballon d’Or rankings, is expected to be one to watch at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Mané’s World Cup dream has been thrown into doubt now as the Bayern Munich star picked up an injury during the Bundesliga side’s latest fixture.

Bayern were taking on Werder Bremen and were level at 1-1 when Mané was taken off. The striker was seen running around very gingerly before eventually sitting on the pitch.

With the World Cup less than two weeks away, football fans are concerned about the extent of the striker’s injury.

Mané is not the only big-name star that has been withdrawn through injury this close to the start of the tournament.
