Bayern Munich issue Sadio Mane statement after injury threatens Senegal World Cup place

Sadio Mane has sustained an injury to his fibula and will miss Bayern Munich 's game with Schalke this weekend, the club have announced.

The forward was forced off after 20 minutes in his side's win over Werder Bremen on Tuesday night which cast major doubt over his World Cup hopes. Senegal will head to Qatar as Africa's champions and begin their tournament in less than a fortnight with a game against the Netherlands.

It leaves Mane, who is his country's leading superstar, with little time to recover before the World Cup kicks-off. Bayern have confirmed the 30-year-old will undergo further examinations as they remain in dialogue with Senegal and their medical department ahead of the tournament.
