Nico Jackson could replace Mane in WC

The entire country of Senegal is keeping a close eye on Sadio Mane's injury problem. The Bayern Munich doctors and Senegal are keeping an eye on Sadio Mane's progress.

The former Liverpool footballer is the best player in the African team and he could miss the World Cup in Qatar. But as always, every cloud has a silver lining. National coach Aliou Cisse has an alternative in his sights.

According to 'Marca',  the coach could call Villarreal's Nicolas Jackson, who was already in the national team but he did not play a single minute. The striker has already explained in an interview that he would like to defend his national team.

"It's soon, but I have a dream to be in the World Cup. I want to be in this one. There are always options. If I start playing well and do what I have to do, I know I can make it. There's my friend Boulaye Dia and it would be great if we were both there," he said.
