It's really unfortunate when you hear that Sadio Mane can't appear to strengthen his country. It's hard to accept this fact, but that's how it is in football, unexpected things happen, even in just a short time. Sadio Mane is an important player in Senegal's attack line, of course losing him will have an impact on the composition of players who usually occupy that position. I hope this doesn't affect Senegal's game too much by not joining Sadio Mane in their game. Instead they have to show that they don't just depend on one player.
Yes Sadio Mane would be missed but too much of the crying now Senegal has to face what's front ahead
Facing Netherland won't be easy with the experience Van Gaal who has taken them very far
Van Gaal will demand to see his side top the group again by all cost, but what is more important is how far they can play in the tournament
Coach Aliou Cisse had insisted on bringing Mane to Qatar by registering immediately but now after Mane's latest surgery it is certain that Mane will have to give up his desire to be in Senegal for this world cup.
