Sadio Mane will be included in Senegal's squad for the World Cup despite suffering a leg injury this week, a source within the country's football federation told AFP on Thursday.
"One thing is certain, Sadio Mane will be on the list tomorrow," the source said, with coach Aliou Cisse set to announce his squad on Friday.
He was diagnosed with an injury to his right fibula. Bayern said he would undergo further tests in the coming days. The 30-year-old scored the winning penalty as Senegal won their first Africa Cup of Nations title in February, beating Egypt in a shootout in the final.
