Sadio Mane to undergo X-ray for injury as World Cup hopes thrown into jeopardy

Sadio Mane will undergo an X-ray to determine the severity of his injury less than two weeks before the World Cup.

The Bayern Munich star was forced off in the first-half of his side's Bundesliga clash with Werder Bremen, sparking fears about his involvement in Qatar. Mane went down and immediately called for the medical staff amid concerns over an issue in his leg.

Bavarians boss Julian Nagelsmann has since confirmed that the 30-year-old, who is his country's talisman, will have an X-ray after he was withdrawn just 20 minutes in. The Bayern tactician said, as per Eurosport, that Mane "took a knock to the head of his tibia. It's always uncomfortable. He has to have an X-ray. I hope nothing is wrong. I didn’t see him after the game, I hope it’s not a big injury. But I don’t know at the moment. We’ll see tomorrow and then give an update."
