Senegal midfielder Sadio Mane returned to full training on Tuesday raising hopes he could be fit for their next game at the African Nations Cup against South Africa.
.
Mane was hurt playing for English Premier League side Southampton last month and ruled out of the tournament in Equatorial Guinea by his club manager Ronald Koeman.
.
But Senegal insisted on picking Mane in their 23-man squad despite him not having fully recovered.
.
The 22-year-old, one of the stand-out players in the qualifying competition, is now in contention for a place in the team to face the South Africans in Mongomo on Friday.
.
Senegal beat Ghana in their opening Group C match without Mane on Monday while South Africa lost to Algeria.
