It was reported today that Mane is likely to undergo knee surgery which could rule out the Liverpool star for the rest of the season.
The Senegal international picked up what seemed to be an innocuous injury in Liverpool's 3-1 win over their Merseyside rivals Everton on Saturday.
But initial scans could not determine the extent of the damage and he will now require minor surgery to fix the injury.

And the 24-year-old has sent a message to his fans on his personal Instagram page.
He wrote: "Merci Allah pour tous."
Jurgen Klopp seemed less than optimistic about Mane's chances of playing again this season in his press conference this week when he said: "Unfortunately that’s possible.
"When a knee is swollen, it’s not often I hear afterwards that it’s nothing.
"We have to wait a little bit until the knee is not that swollen anymore."
