FC Bayern Munich have announced that Sadio Mane will miss their final game of the year against Schalke due to an injury.

In a statement released on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, the club fail to mention the extent of Mane's injury, stating that there will be further tests carried out in the next few days.

Bayern also cited that they are in contact with the Senegalese medical team within the period.

Senegal, who released their final 26-man squad for the World Cup on November 8, would have to name a replacement for their deputy skipper if it turns out he cannot be available for the competition.
