Injured Mane to be checked by Bayern in 10 days: Nagelsmann

Mane was named in Senegal's squad for the World Cup in Qatar starting on November 20th despite suffering an injury playing for Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

"I don't even know what a witch doctor is," Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Friday in response to FIFA General Secretary Fatma Samoura's suggestion that compatriot Mane could be treated by 'witch doctors' to get him fit in time.

"In 10 days we will do a check on him again to see how his recovery and progress has gone and we will take it from there," Nagelsmann told a news conference.

"Obviously (Senegal) really want him to play but we have to wait and see how the medical situation is. If he can't play he can't play, whether the FA want him or not.

"These are the types of situations that go beyond just the sporting aspect."

Senegal face Netherlands on November 21st in their opening Group A match before taking on hosts Qatar and Ecuador.

Senegal coach Aliou Cisse said earlier on Friday he was confident Mane could recover in time to play at the tournament.
