Bayern Munich Provides Update On Mane’s Injury Ahead Of World Cup

Bayern Munich has provided an update on Sadio Mane’s injury, which occurred just 11 days before the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Bundesliga champions are hopeful Mane has avoided serious injury after picking up a knock in their 6-1 win over Werder Bremen on Tuesday evening.

Bayern is currently leading the Bundesliga standings by a four-point margin after their victory over Bremen.

However, Mane’s injury overshadowed the outcome because it took the 30-year-old player 15 minutes into the match to suffer a knee injury that required treatment.

Leroy Sane, a former Man City player, took over for the former Liverpool star as he walked straight down the tunnel for additional medical attention.

Speaking after the match at his post-match press conference, Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann hoped Mane’s injury is not a big one.

Nagelsmann also said he is expecting a further update on Mane’s injury on Wednesday.

“I didn’t see him after the game, I hope it’s not a big injury. But I don’t know at the moment, the Bayern boss said. ‘We’ll see tomorrow and then give an update,” Nagelsmann said at his post-match press conference.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich’s assistant coach Dino Toppmöller offered a somewhat more positive update on Mane’s injury.

Toppmöller told reporters after the game: “He got hit on the nerve in the knee area. Apparently, it’s nothing that bad.”
