Bayern Munich star forward Sadio Mane will be treated by witch doctors as Senegal look to cure his injury ahead of this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
Mane sparked fears he could miss the tournament in Qatar after he limped off in Tuesday’s 6-1 win over Werder Bremen.
The Bundesliga giants subsequently released a statement where they ruled him out of this weekend’s clash with Schalke.
Senegalese senior executive Fatma Samoura, who is FIFA’s first female Secretary General, says that her country is willing to go to extreme methods to heal Mane.

Samoura has acknowledged that the unorthodox methods may not work, but they have to try in the slim hope that the practice proves successful.
“We are going to use witch doctors,” Samoura told Europe 1.
“I don’t know (if they’re effective) but in this instance, we’re going to use them anyway.
“We are hoping for miracles. He has to be there!”
Despite his fibula injury, Mane is set to be included in Senegal’s World Cup squad, which will be announced on Friday.
The former Liverpool forward fired Senegal into the World Cup after scoring the winning penalty in their play-off against Egypt.
He also scored the winning penalty in the shootout against Egypt which secured Senegal’s first Africa Cup of Nations title.
He is Senegal’s all-time top scorer with 34 goals, while he is seven games shy of becoming their record appearance maker.
Since departing Liverpool for Bayern in the summer, Mane has scored11 goals and four assists in 23.

Let the WITCH DOCTORS help SENEGAL to WIN the WORLD CUP instead…
Ol boy, I didn’t use to believe, but I saw wonders during TAC in the Gambia. A witch doctor stretched out his arm, which could not be scratched with a sharp sword. The same sword cut a tree branch into two. There is more to it what these Senegalese/Gambians can do with African black power.
LMFAO..
I don’t care @KANGA If the WITCH DOCTOR like make him use the SWORD SCRATCH him PRICK..
LMFAO…
All am saying is they should use the same ENERGY and help an AFRICAN TEAM WIN the WORLD CUP..
It is the same thing Ghana has always used to defeat Nigeria despite Nigeria usually playing better it’s no longer done in secret. You can imagine a whole FIFA secretary-Genera backing its use.Tbey work mainly in Home turfs but fail in mecury-‘stuffed’turfs used for world cups and other International tournaments. It is for the same reason you cannot use this black powers to steal from banks
Ghana is Nigeria’s nemesis. They know they will always beat Nigeria and it is something they do not worry about. It just comes easily
It’s not true Mr or whatever Badge. Ghana has not beaten Nigeria all the time but maybe more times than Nigeria has beaten Ghana and that is at the senior level and mostly in what I will call’medievaltimes’.Nigeria has beaten Ghana more in all age-grade levels in the male and at all levels in the women game. All cadres,levels and gender are necessary for comparison and bragging rights. I personally check Nigeria and Ghana trophies in CAF in Cairo because of you people’s noise here to discover Nigeria has won far more trophies than Ghana so please the issue of which of the 2 countries is better is settled.No empty noise here without statistics
