In the worrying clip that is now doing rounds on social media, Mane seemed to have been knocked unconscious for a brief moment as medics rushed to issue first aid.

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha received a red card for the challenge on the Liverpool winger, who somehow continued with the game.

Oddly enough, it was Mane who gave his side the lead minutes later as he curled in a lovely goal to the top corner after the ball fell to him from a corner.

After a lengthy VAR check for his goal, Mane fell to the ground in clear pain once again while holding his head and had to be taken off.

The only encouraging bit about the whole incident was the fact that the Senegal star was helped up by teammates and left the pitch walking and not on a stretcher.

Liverpool will now wait anxiously for a comprehensive update on the 29-year old’s condition.

“Questions will be asked as to why Sadio Mane wasn't subbed after that. He looked out cold when he landed. Not good at all,” added another.
