Does Mane still has the chance to represent?
he was called up to the senegal team and from what i read he is on the list of senegal players to play in the world cup, but according to the senegal coach he does not need to be operated and can recover in two to three weeks, but in this case if senegal is eliminated early then mane will not play in the world cup and let's be honest: does anyone believe that senegal can reach the final of the world cup? I don't believe it, so being realistic, the man won't be able to improve in time to play in the world cup
Reaching the Final seems impossible, but with his presence if possible playing at least opens a chance for them to pass the group stage or repeat the achievement at the 2002 World Cup by reaching the quarter-finals only lose after that.
There are even cases wherein a player would be tasked to hurt the 'star player' of the other team just to get the win; and this exists on every sports related tournaments not only in soccer.
This is an old rumor and I've heard of it, but it can't be proven true because surely the instructions are carried out in secret, maybe even only the player and the commanding officer know about it.
