Senegal has announced their 26-man squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, which includes Sadio Mane despite being an injury doubt.

On the 11th of November 2022, Senegal coach Aliou Cisse named his 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and made a huge decision on Sadio Mane.

The 2018 Africa Cup of Nations champions are now placed 18th in the FIFA rankings, making them the highest-ranked CAF country. Many believe they have the best chance of the five African teams to advance.

However, they suffered a major blow when Sadio Mane picked up an injury in Bayern Munich’s midweek game against Werder Bremen.

The former Liverpool attacker recently suffered a leg injury in the lead-up to the tournament, which cast doubts over his involvement. Mane is the talisman of the national team. He played a crucial part in their qualification and scored the winning penalty during their AFCON victory over Egypt in the final.

On Friday, Cisse named Mane into his Senegal squad for the upcoming tournament in Qatar, but it remains to be seen whether the African Footballer of the Year can really recover on time.

The Lions of Teranga have been drawn in Group A alongside hosts Qatar, Netherlands and Ecuador, starting their tournament on 21 November against the Netherlands.
