Seems Senegal are desperate to bring Sadio mane to the world cup, just like in the last AFCON tournament that he was used despite him having a concussion on the pitch. Mane was just added to the list of players called up for the world cup and it got me worried, Isn't Senegal overworking Mane. I understand he's their players and he's needed if Senegal was to even dream about going far in the tournament but shoudn't the wellbeing of Sadio Mane be considered here.

And what would that also do the the confidence of the others, or the guy sacrificed to make room for Mane? This has to get some resistance from Bayern, for sure. Klopp would be calling up Senegal now if this happened at Liverpool...

It was Mane's decision to go, he's 30 and this could be his final World Cup with Senegal, I'm not sure the injury is as serious as we thought given that there is still a week until the World Cup for him to at least recover since he was flown to Africa for herbal treatments, we know how far Senegal is willing to go to ensure the country captain goes to the World Cup. Because of the timing of the World Cup, he may miss the first game. I recall a similar scenario with Drogba, who was sidelined for four weeks due to a hamstring injury. He went to Africa for herbal treatment and recovered just in time for our Champions League game. No players were sacrificed, his slot was untouchable. Grin

Well your points of view are very good, I also see the point of view of the coach from Senegal and I see the point of view of Mane, I also understand why he went to Africa to receive his herbs to heal quickly, and I hope that can recover and be ready for the first game, however we see many points of view and above all the most important is health, which, it is not very clear how serious his injury is, what I do understand is that it is or could be his last World Cup and he doesn't want to go wrong with his people, I think that's what moves him the most, that's why I think he's doing all this, I really admire soccer players like him.

If there is something to admire about patriotism, it could show Mane, I think that if I were him I would do the same and go, I think it is excellent that they have called him, he gives a lot of moral value to his team in case he cannot enter some.

Senegal's performance yesterday was quite commendable even in their defeat. They played defensively well. The only thing I find lacking is their finishing. This is where Mane comes in. Senegal does need a good striker that will finish everything for them. They squander so many opportunities that may have resulted in goals.

On Friday, Senegal will play their following game against Qatar. hoping for a successful outcome

So far, the African teams in that have played -- Senegal, Tunisia have made me extremely proud and I must confess that I am totally impressed with their performance. There's so much expectation now of the Ghanaian team. I am hoping to see a repeat of the type of game between Argentina and Saudi Arabia with Portugal and Ghana. Well, this is a tech assisted world cup and anything can happen. For the game between Senegal and Qatar, my expectation is to see Senegal win.

Actually yes, I also hope that the African teams can show more, Tunisia did very well, I really liked the game, even though I hardly like it when a team draws, but this time I liked it, now the debut of Ghana against Portugal, anything can happen because there is the blow that Saudi Arabia gave, nobody thought (except the Arabs in general) that they were going to beat Argentina, it is something really surprising and beautiful, it is not known what could happen with Ghana now and Portugal, but the expectations are very high and much is expected of them, I hope to see a great presentation of these teams that for me are all great, I hope that Senegal recovers and can give a better result for the next match.
