Senegal trying to cure S. Me - witch invites © REUTERS

The Senegal national team is making every effort to get striker Sadio Mane back on his feet.

The 30-year-old African injured his leg in the match against Bayern before facing Werder Bremen and had to leave the line-up for a while.

Reports have already appeared in the media that one of Senegal's leaders will have to miss the World Cup, but the Africans themselves do not want to agree with such predictions.

Senegalese FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura announced that even wizards will be called upon.

"We will invite witch doctors. I don't know if they will be able to help, but we intend to take advantage of their services. We believe in miracles, Sadio simply has to be in Qatar!" the woman emphasized.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports that despite the injury, S. Mane will still be included in the national team lineup for the World Cup.
