Medical tests have instead confirmed that the Senegal attacker suffered a muscle injury in his left shoulder after colliding with a team-mate during a session at Melwood.

He is an obvious doubt for Saturday’s trip to Burnley, but Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is hoping Mane can be back soon after.

Mane, 24, was taken to the Spire hospital in Liverpool following the incident, but was later seen driving away from the training ground, with his left arm in a sling, after first stopping to sign autographs.
