Sadio Mane has been ruled out for the entirety of the World Cup after news he will require surgery on a knee injury he sustained playing for Bayern Munich.
The former Liverpool player came off just 20 minutes into Bayern's 6-1 win against Werder Bremen at the start of the month complaining of pain around his right fibula and casting his role in Senegal's campaign into doubt.
The national team's manager, Aliou Cisse, decided to include Mane in his 26-man squad despite the injury.
