The Senegalese striker Sadio Mané participated this Sunday morning in his first collective training with the Bayern Munchen since he suffered a fibula injury in his right leg in November, which kept him out of the 2022 World Cup.
“This feeling is just fantastic,” said Mané after training at Säbener Strasse, the club’s training ground.
“I’m a player, football is my life, I’ve been missing it a lot. I’m still motivated, I’m happy to find the fans, football, the environment, score goals and win in the end”, continued the striker.
Mané was injured on November 8, in Bayern’s 6-1 thrashing of Werder Bremen for German Championshipand did not recover in time to play in the World Cup in Qatar for the Senegal team.
