Filippo Mane - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back in lineup vs. Arsenal Mane (leg) returns to Dortmund's starting lineup for Sunday's preseason friendly against Arsenal, the club announced.

Impact Mane had been forced off during last week's friendly against Cerezo Osaka after grabbing the back of his thigh following a defensive action, receiving brief treatment before being substituted. His return to the starting XI suggests the issue has cleared up without complication. The defender's strength in duels and reliability at the back make him a useful depth option, though he's projected to serve primarily as a substitute this season. Mane is expected to continue building toward match sharpness as preseason concludes.

Forced off with leg injury Mane was forced off during Wednesday's friendly against Cerezo Osaka after grabbing the back of his thigh following a defensive action.

Impact Mane received brief treatment on the pitch but was unable to continue, with Jan-Luca Riedl coming on in his place, and further clarity on the severity of the issue is expected to come from the club as it continues its assessment. Mane is expected to be reassessed as Dortmund's preseason continues.

Makes bench Saturday Mane (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim.

Impact Mane progressed from partial training sessions to full team participation in recent weeks, earning a spot in the squad after coach Niko Kovac confirmed he was fit. The young defender had been able to take part in full team sessions only this week, making his return a positive step forward. He figures to slot into a rotational role rather than pushing for an immediate starting spot, adding useful defensive cover for Dortmund in the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

Impact Mane had been limited to partial training sessions when last mentioned, unable to participate in full team sessions ahead of the Leverkusen fixture. His progression to full team training since then is a positive step forward and gives coach Kovac an additional defensive depth option to call upon at the weekend if cleared. The young defender figures to slot into a rotational role rather than pushing for an immediate starting spot, but his availability adds useful cover for Dortmund in the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

Back in partial training Mane (undisclosed) is back in partial training but has yet to participate in full sessions, so he's not expected to be available for Saturday's game against Bayer Leverkusen. "Fili...

Impact Mane hasn't been able to log full training sessions yet, so he'll have to continue waiting for his chance to return to action. That said, he's a young player who offers depth on defense and not much else, meaning he won't carry a lot of fantasy appeal even if he's cleared to return to action.

Impact Mane has missed every match since early February with a muscle injury, but the defender was back in team training this week and could be an option for Saturday's clash against the goats. Mane will likely be a late fitness call after the final training session and could step right back into a meaningful role given the numerous injuries currently hitting the Black and Yellow back line.

Set to miss four to six weeks Mane (muscular) is set to miss four to six weeks due to injury, coach Niko Kovac said in the press conference. "Filippo has a muscle injury. I expect he will be out for about 4-6 w...

Impact Mane suffered a muscular injury during the last Bundesliga game against Heidenheim and is expected to miss four to six weeks to recover. This is a blow for the Black and Yellow since he started the last two games with the recent departure of Aaron Anselmino and with Emre Can (adductor) still sidelined, the options in the backline are thin for Dortmund. Niklas Sule will likely get a larger role until they return.

Off at halftime Mane was forced off at halftime of Sunday's match against Heidenheim due to an apparent injury.

Impact Mane started Sunday but had to leave the field as they resumed play after halftime, with the defender out due to an injury. This is something to watch, as he has started in their past two games. He was replaced by Nikolas Sule, who is a likely replacement moving forward, alongside Emre Can (illness).

Suspension cleared Mane is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Sent off in opener Mane received a red card in the 85th minute of Saturday's match against St. Pauli.

Impact Mane would see his marching orders Saturday, as after a VAR review, he was sent off with a straight red while St. Pauli gained a penalty kick. This will leave him out for their next match against Union Berlin on Aug. 31. He will next be an option Sept. 3 against Heidenheim, with Almugera Kabar as a possible replacement while out, as the club is low on defenders due to injuries.

Impact Mane is one of several players who will be absent for Dortmund in this match due to an illness. However, the youngster isn't expected to see regular minutes when healthy, so his absence won't affect many fantasy decisions.
