Nottingham Forest pair Moussa Niakhate and Cheikhou Kouyate, Fulham defender Fode Ballo-Toure, Tottenham midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, Everton's Idrissa Gueye and Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson have all been included by Teranga Lions coach Aliou Cisse.
Middlesbrough goalkeeper Seny Dieng and Rangers forward Abdallah Sima are also in the 27-man squad.
The 2023 Afcon finals - officially branded as such even though they are being played in 2024 - begin on 13 January, with the final on 11 February.
Former Liverpool forward Mane, who now plays in Saudi Arabia for Al Nassr, scored the winning penalty in the shoot-out against Egypt in the 2021 Nations Cup final to clinch Senegal's first senior continental trophy.
The 24 competing countries have until 3 January to name their final squads.
