Senegal forward Sadio Mane has undergone surgery on a knee injury he sustained playing for Bayern Munich and will miss the World Cup.

On Tuesday, Senegal’s football federation said Mane, 30, would miss their “first games” at the tournament.

But a further MRI scan was completed yesterday that showed surgical intervention was needed.

Mane was forced off during Bayern’s Bundesliga win over Werder Bremen on 8 November.
