Attacking star Sadio Mané limped off the pitch after just 20 minutes in Bayern Munich’s league meeting with Werder Bremen.
Mané appeared to have a problem with his right knee.
How bad it is remains to be seen. It may also have been a safety measure to leave the plane.
Should Mané be so injured that he misses all or part of the playoffs in Qatar, it would be a severe blow for Senegal. Mané has played all the international matches this year and became a great hero when he scored the decisive penalty against Egypt in the final of the African Championships.
