Sadio Mane shares emotional message with supporters after ex-Liverpool star ruled out of World Cup

Sadio Mane has thanked supporters who sent him well wishes following the news of his injury ruling him out of the World Cup.

The ex- Liverpool star sustained a leg injury during Bayern Munich's penultimate Bundesliga fixture prior to the mid-season break but was named in Senegal's 26-man squad in the hope of featuring at some stage of the tournament.

Bayern confirmed last Thursday that Mane had successfully undergone surgery in response to his injury setback but would not recover in time to feature in Qatar. This news left Virgil van Dijk saddened, along with a large number of football fans, particularly given the role played by the 30-year-old in his home nation securing qualification for the World Cup.
