Senegal are set to use witch doctors to cure Sadio Mane's injury ahead of the World Cup.

His nation's key player ahead of the winter tournament, the Bayern Munich winger is dealing with a serious injury.

Former Liverpool striker Mane suffered a leg injury this week, but a source told AFP that he will still be in Senegal's squad for the World Cup.

Fatma Samoura, the No.2 at world football's governing body FIFA, has stated they will use witch doctors to cure Mane.

“We are going to use witch doctors," she told Europe 1.

“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!"
