Mane has already injured his calf this midweek week when Bayern Munich beat Werder Bremen 6-1. Mane only played 21 minutes before being sent off.
This situation then made the Senegal field anxious because there were less than two weeks before the kick-off of the World Cup in Qatar. Mane’s injury is said to be serious and takes a minimum of 1-2 months to recover.
It is natural that there is concern that Mane is missing and this is certainly detrimental to Senegal which relies so much on him. Now the Senegalese Football Association will do everything possible so that Mane can recover quickly.
Currently, the Senegalese team doctor has even been sent to Munich to further check on Mane’s condition. It is believed that Mane may still appear in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup.
Not only were medical efforts made by Senegal, but also non-medical measures in the form of calling a shaman to restore Mane’s injury. This statement came from the general secretary of FIFA from Senegal Fatma Samoura.
“We will use a dukun. I don’t know if it will work well, but in this case we will use their services. Let’s hope for a miracle. Mane has to play there!” Said Samoura, from Senegal. Europe 1.
Using the services of a shaman is nothing new in African football, as many players from the Continent use it. However, Demba Ba opposed Senegal’s desire to use alternative medicine.
Because Sadio Mane is known as a devout Muslim and it is impossible to do such an act. Senegal as the African Cup of Nations champions will face the Netherlands in their opening Group A match on 21 November.
