INJURED MANE STILL IN MUNICH, SAYS FA OFFICIAL

-

Sadio Mane is still in Munich recovering from injury while Senegal prepare for their opening match, an official from the country’s football associatio­n told AFP on Thursday. Bayern Munich star Mane was not present at Thursday’s training session with his national team due to a right fibula jury he picked up during 6-1 thumping of Werder Bremen earlier this month. Senegal begin their Group A campaign on Monday against Netherland­s. Mane’s fitness has been a major cause of concern for Senegal, who claimed their maiden Africa Cup of Nations title in February. The 30-year-old finished second in this year’s Ballon d’or voting ehind Karim Benzema.
