Host nation:<\/strong> Qatar <\/span>Dates: <\/strong>20 November-18 December <\/span>Coverage: <\/strong>Live on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app. <\/span>Day-by-day TV listings<\/span><\/a> – <\/span>Full coverage details<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Sadio Mane will miss Senegal’s “first games” at the World Cup because of a leg injury, an official from the country’s football federation has said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The German champions said the 30-year-old had an injury “to his right fibula”, but Senegal coach Aliou Cisse said Mane does not need an operation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The West Africans begin their Group A campaign against the Netherlands on Monday, with games against hosts Qatar (25 November) and Ecuador (29 November) to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We will have to rely on playing the first games without Sadio and win without Sadio,” Senegal football federation (FSF) board member Abdoulaye Sow told AP.<\/span><\/p>\n

“No-one would have wanted it, but that’s what’s happened to us.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Sow added Senegal should “not whine too much” about the absence of the two-time African Footballer of the Year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mane is Senegal’s talisman, having scored the winning penalty when the Teranga Lions <\/span>became continental champions<\/span><\/a> for the first time in February, defeating Egypt in a shoot-out in the Africa Cup of Nations final.<\/span><\/p>\n

Within two months Mane had repeated the feat, netting the decisive spot-kick as Senegal beat Egypt – in a game that again pitted him against then Liverpool team-mate Mohammed Salah – on penalties <\/span>in a play-off to qualify for Qatar.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
