The Senegalese Secretary General of FIFA, Fatma Samoura, has stated that Senegal will turn to witch doctors in an effort to get Sadio Mane to the World Cup in Qatar as quickly as possible.
Despite sustaining a leg injury this week, Mane was included in Senegal’s World Cup team, a source within the national football federation told AFP.
Mane was initially predicted to miss the tournament.
Fatma Samoura has now stated that the nation will make every effort to ensure that he is present, admitting that they are not even sure if the unconventional method will work but that they are hoping for “miracles.”
“We are going to use witch doctors, 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!” he said.
