Mane has been ruled out for between 6-8 weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury in the 2-0 win against Cape Verde Islands in Praia two weeks ago.

Still, he has been included in the Lions of Teranga squad for the double-header against South Africa, with the first match -- the replay of the fixed match back in March -- set for Polokwane on November 10, and the return leg in Dakar four days later.

Cisse has made only one enforced change to the team that beat Cape Verde - injured Stade Rennes man Ismailia Sarr drops out, with no replacement called up.

Senegal need just one win to ensure a first World Cup appearance since 2002.
