Bayern Munich forward Sadio Mane returned to training on Tuesday as he continues his recovery from a leg injury that sidelined him during the World Cup. In a video shared on the club’s Twitter page, Mane was seen on the snow-covered pitch at Munich’s Saebener Strasse training ground, expressing his excitement by saying, “Hey, it’s a good feeling, after a long holiday, to be back.”
Mane, 30, sustained an injury to his right leg during Bayern’s 6-1 home victory against Werder Bremen on November 8. Following the injury, he underwent surgery, which ultimately ruled him out of Senegal’s World Cup campaign. Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann mentioned in early January that Mane, who joined the team last summer from Liverpool, might be ready to return for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 match against Paris Saint-Germain on March 8.
“If everything goes really well, he may be able to play again against Paris,” Nagelsmann stated, adding that there is only a “small chance he plays the first leg.” However, Mane will not participate in Bayern’s home game against Cologne later on Tuesday.
