Sadio Mane 'paid the ENTIRE hospital bill for a young boy with life-threatening injuries after chance meeting with his family in a Cameroon hospital while he was being treated for concussion during AFCON'

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane proved his class both on and off the pitch once again at the AFCON as Senegal were not only crowned champions, he also paid an entire hospital bill for a young boy with life-threatening injuries.

The 29-year-old, who seemed to briefly lose consciousness following a collision with Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, recovered enough to score in the 2-0 win before being substituted soon after where he was taken to hospital.

As he was being treated for concussion in a Cameroon hospital, he paid the FCFA £400,000 for a family of a child with life-threatening injuries who couldn't afford the hospital bill.
