President of Senegal Macky Sall has sent goodwill message to Sadio Mane after suffering an injury in Bayern Munich's 6-1 victory over Werder Bremen, ruling him out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Mane was replaced in the 15th minute by Leroy Sane after going down.
The 30-year-old headed straight down the tunnel for further treatment after being substituted.
"Sadio, I wish you a speedy recovery from your injury in the Bayern-Werder Bremen game. As I told you: Sadio, Lionheart! With all my heart with you! God bless you!" Sall posted on his twitter page as translated from French by google.

Mane is a key cog of Aliou Cissé's side, who face the Netherlands in their opening Group A game on November 21 before taking on hosts Qatar, then Ecuador at the World Cup.
He scored Senegal's winning penalty in the shootout victory over Egypt to clinch their first Africa Cup of Nations title earlier this year.
The former Liverpool player is reported to be suffering from a tendon and is expected to be on the sidelines for several weeks.
Senegal coach Aliou Cissé is due to announce his final squad for the global showpiece which is scheduled for Qatar from November 20 - December 18, 2022.
