Sadio Mane: Liverpool and Senegal forward has x-rays after injury scare

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane is awaiting the results of x-rays after suffering an injury scare on international duty with Senegal.

The 29-year-old was substituted in the 28th minute of Thursday's match against Togo in African qualifying for the 2022 World Cup.

Mane looked to have hurt either a rib or his hip in a clash with a defender, but Senegal coach Aliou Cisse said his withdrawal was a precautionary measure.

"There is nothing bad," Cisse said after the 1-1 draw in Lome.

"We only took him out as a precaution, not for something serious."

Senegal put out a strong side in Togo despite already having qualified for next March's play-offs, where the continent's five representatives for the World Cup will be decided.
