Liverpool's Sadio Mane could be set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a leg injury in the Merseyside derby against Everton.

ESPN FC reported Mane limped off from the crucial derby clash in the second half.

The 24-year-old joined the club from Southampton in the summer and has become one of the Reds' most important attacking players.

While the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are capable dribblers, neither possesses Mane's incredible pace, which makes him a real threat out wide on the counter-attack and a valuable outlet ahead of Nathaniel Clyne on the right flank.
