Sadio Mané should get fit again as soon as possible – if possible for the World Cup.
How FC Bayern and Senegal want to enable speed healing.
Munich – It is unclear exactly how bad Sadio Mané's injury is.
Neither FC Bayern nor the Senegalese Football Association have commented on the details.
What is certain, however, is that the injury to the head of the fibula is jeopardizing the winger's participation in the World Cup.
Nevertheless, the star player wants to compete in the tournament in Qatar.
And his team is also hoping for a quick comeback, which is why Senegal has nominated Sadio Mané for the World Cup.
In view of his role in the national team, this is not surprising: he scored 33 goals in 92 international matches and was instrumental in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations victory.
How Senegal and FC Bayern want to enable Sadio Mané's quick return

While the "witch doctors" - as with homeopathy - do not work beyond the placebo effect, the German record champion has already consulted medical expertise that has been tried and tested several times.
According to tz
information, knee specialist Christian Fink was
in Munich the day after Mané's substitution in the Bremen game.
Sadio Mané and FC Bayern consult experienced knee experts
Fink has been a specialist in trauma surgery and sports traumatology since 1998.
After two years of research at Duke University, Fink habilitated with a thesis on "Pathology of the anterior cruciate ligament and the menisci of the knee joint".
According to his own statements, the expert appears again and again at congresses on the subject.
The German record champions have always relied on Christian Fink's expertise in the past.
The Austrian has already operated on several key players in the Bayern squad: Lucas Hernández, Leroy Sané, Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka.
Numerous other athletes rely on the knowledge of Fink's Innsbruck practice, including Juventus Turin and AS Roma.
However, Sadio Mané does not need an operation.
"This is very good news," said Senegal national coach Aliou Cissé.
Whether it is enough for the World Cup is still unclear.
