Liverpool have made a direct appeal to Sadio Mane not to risk his health by playing in Senegal’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday night.
Mane was knocked out during his country’s previous game with Cape Verde on Tuesday after a collision with opposition goalkeeper Vozinha.
He was later substituted and reportedly taken to hospital complaining of dizziness having initially stayed on the pitch and scored in a 2-0 win.

Premier League protocols would mean the star forward automatically missing the next game but Mane posted a picture of himself on an exercise bike and took part in training yesterday, leading to concerns he may be selected.
