"Mane was hit on the leg, which caused him a little nerve pain," the Bayern assistant boss said.
"Nothing too serious and his participation in the World Cup should not be in jeopardy," he added.
Mane to undergo a scan
Speaking further on the injury, Julian Naggelsmann added that the forward will need a scan after taking a blow to his head.

"I can't say anything for sure, he took a blow to the head of his shin. That's an unpleasant spot, it radiates a bit into the muscles," Nagelsmann stated.
"I think he has to go to the X-ray to see if there is something there because it is splintering easily. But I hope that nothing is wrong. I can't say anything for sure yet."
Bayern thrash Bremen
The game at the Arena was evenly poised at 1-1 after Anthony Jung cancelled out Jamaal Musiala's 6th-minute opener before Mane left the pitch.

Things changed dramatically thereafter as the Bavarians added five more goals, inspired by Serge Gnabry, who netted a hat-trick to seal a 6-1 win.
Leon Gortezka and Mathys Tel were the other scorers on a comfortable evening at the Arena for the defending champions.
