The clash between former teammates Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane was one of the eagerly anticipated games in the World Cup this year.
Senegal’s all-time leading goalscorer’s absence would definitely make it tough for manager Aliou Cisse.

“Yes, I called him [immediately after the injury],” Van Dijk told reporters in Qatar.
“I wanted to know how he was because there were so many rumours.
“Unfortunately at the time, it was not the best news. I feel sad for him, I know how hard he works for this, and he has been important for Senegal.
“He’s obviously a big miss for them, but hopefully we can benefit from that a little.”
