The World Cup football series starts in Qatar next Sunday (20th). Senegal is playing in this series. The best player of that team is Sadio Mane. The 30-year-old plays for Germany’s top club Bayern Munich.
Khali was injured while playing for the team. Senegal’s team doctor says he will not play in the World Cup as he is expected to undergo surgery while the injury is expected to heal.
The absence of Sane, a two-time African Footballer of the Year award, is considered a huge setback for the team.
Senegal are placed in Group A. Along with this team, Qatar, Ecuador and Netherlands teams are also placed. Senegal will face the Netherlands in their first match on the 21st.
