The injury scare that Sadio suffered on Tuesday did not deter him from being included in the squad for the World Cup.
The player was forced to leave in the first half of the game.
He has an injury to the head of his right fibula and won't be able to play.
On November 21st, the Netherlands will host the first game of the Group A campaign.
Aliou Cisse said at a press conference in the Senegalese capital that they had sent a doctor to assess him.
Sadio traveled to Austria for further tests after spending the entire day inMunich. He doesn't need an operation.
The situation should evolve in two to three weeks. I don't want to say he's out.
The Teranga Lions became continental champions for the first time in February when they defeated Egypt in a shoot-out in the Africa Cup of Nations final, and their star player was a formerLiverpool player named Sadio.
Less than two months later, he netted the decisive spot-kick as his team beat Egypt in a play-off to get to the World Cup.
As his country's record goalscorer, with 34 goals in 93 caps, Mane's fitness is key to Senegal's chances and Cisse will be sweating on his availability.
On their World Cup debut in 2002, the squad containing Cisse stunned France in their opener and went on to reach the quarter-finals.
Since November of last year, the west Africans have been Africa's highest ranked side.
The squad includes a goalkeeper from the Blues, as well as a player from the Forest and a player from the city.
Cisse will be concerned about the fitness of Diallo, who was withdrawn from the starting XI for the game against Freiburg because of a knee injury.
Both full-backs from the Nations Cup final triumph against Egypt are absent, with the right-back injured and the left-back missing.
Queens Park Rangers keeper Seny Dieng and Iliman Ndiaye are two of the players named by Cisse.
Ndiaye is one of six new faces from the Nations Cup winning squad.
The squad announcement comes a day after former Birmingham City and Portsmouth midfielder Cisse signed a new deal to remain as Senegal boss until 2024.
Seny Dieng is a goalkeeper for Queens Park Rangers.
Goalkeepers: Fode Ballo-Toure (AC Milan) and Pape Cisse (Olympiakos).
Goalkeepers: Pathe Ciss, Pape Gueye, Cheikhou Kouyate, and Mamadou Loum Ndiaye.
Boulaye Dia, Famara Diedhiou, Bamba Dieng and Iliman Ndiaye are forwards.
