(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Senegal forward, Sadio Mane, has finally spoken out for the first time since it was confirmed that he would not take part in the 2022 FIFA World Cup because of injury.

Speaking on the development, Mane, in a post via his Twitter handle on Sunday, thanked God that the operation he underwent was successful..

The former Liverpool ace wrote: “Thank God the midweek operation went well. I want to take this opportunity to thank you all and show my appreciation.

“This Monday, our dear country will compete in the World Cup, Qatar 2022. I am sure that the Lions will transcend themselves and will approach all matches as a real final.

“I am also convinced that all Senegalese will be in front of the small screen to support and encourage our valiant national team.”

Senegal is in Group A alongside Ecuador, Netherlands and Qatar.
