BERLIN, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- It might have been the explicit intention of Sadio Mane to let pictures send out a convincing message of hope.

After all, not only the photographers at Bayern Munich's training ground seemed pleased to see the 30-year-old Senegal star back in action.

With temperatures around the freezing point, two months after his leg injury, the striker delivered the expected pictures containing hope and determination.

His message seemed striking to everyone: The race to make it back for the delicate last 16 duels in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain on February 14 and March 8 has started.
