Sadio Mane's World Cup dreams have seemingly gone up in smoke after the Senegalese star suffered a shin injury on Tuesday evening while playing for Bayern Munich.
Former Liverpool legend Mane, who left the Merseyside club in the summer after six successful seasons, had to be taken off 15 minutes into the Bundesliga champions' 6-1 victory against Werder Bremen.
The AFCON winner headed straight down the tunnel after being replaced by Leroy Sane and it was later confirmed that Mane required a scan to assess any damage to his leg, leaving his World Cup aspirations hanging on a knife edge.
