Three months after sustaining the injury that ultimately prevented him from competing in the World Cup, Mane, a Senegalese international, said on Sunday that it was “simply great” to be back in training with Bayern Munich.
A week before their matchup with Union Berlin at the top of the table, the forward, who is 30 years old, has provided the German champions with a much-needed boost.
If Union Berlin defeats Schalke later on Sunday, they could be two points ahead of Bayern when they meet.
On Saturday, Borussia Moenchengladbach defeated Bayern 3-2. When he showed up for Sunday’s training, Mane, who had an injury to his right leg in November and had to have surgery, was beaming with happiness.
Before the activity, he remarked, “To have this feeling again is absolutely fantastic.” After the session, he expressed his joy at being back in the zone.
He said, “I am a football player, football is my life, and I have really missed it.” I’m excited to rediscover the fans, football, and atmosphere, score goals, and win. I’m still driven.
Mane could be included in the matchday squad after a full week of training, Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann said on Friday.
In the middle of the week, Bayern might also welcome back another important player to team training.
