The Liverpool star was slammed by Cape Verde keeper Vozinha in the 57th minute as the keeper was sent off and Cape Verde were reduced to nine men.

Sadio Mane remained on the pitch and six minutes later he put in a fine effort off the crossbar to put Senegal 1-0 up.

However, after his celebrations, he was later treated on the pitch and assisted by Senegalese medical staff as he was substituted with a suspected concussion.

Mane went to hospital and a photo of him with Vozinha was posted by Confederation of African Football on their social media accounts. Mane’s current injury status is unknown.
