Sadio Mane, a standout for Al-Nassr, has returned to Senegal to play in the team’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Rwanda.

Teranga Lions supporters greeted the 31-year-old when he in into the team hotel on Friday to begin preparations for Saturday’s encounter.

According to the BBC, the African champions will play Rwanda in Group L’s last match after having already qualified for next year’s tournament in Ivory Coast.

A social media video shows Mane giving an autograph and picture opportunity to a fan who had been trying unsuccessfully to see the former Liverpool player.

A security guard tried to stop the 2022 African Player of the Year from granting the fan’s request to take a picture with him, but the player insisted.

Mane is a fan favorite in Saudi Arabia after leaving Bayern Munich for Al-Nassr during the summer transfer window.

The Knights of Najd, which Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo both played for, won the Arab Club Cup by defeating Al-Hilal in the final.

Al-Nassr’s strong second half is largely due to the eleven goals scored by the pair in the league.

The Al-Hazm defense is helpless after Mane.

Earlier in the day on Saturday, Sports Brief noted that Al-Nassr’s Mane was exceptional in their lopsided victory against Al-Hazm in the Saudi Pro League.

The 31-year-old finished off a stellar display by scoring the game-winning goal as Al-Nassr cruised to a 5-1 away triumph.

A goal scored by Mane was disallowed for a visiting team foul in the penalty area.
