Sadio Mane reveals he wanted to sign a contract to take responsibility if he DIED due to his determination to play for Senegal in the African Cup of Nations after suffering a concussion in Round of 16 clash with Cape Verde

Sadio Mane has revealed he wanted to sign a contract to take responsibility if he died, due to his determination to play for Senegal after suffering a concussion at the African Cup of Nations.

During Senegal's Round of 16 clash with Cape Verde, Mane collided with opposition keeper Vozinha who rushed out to chase a 50-50 ball, which eventually led to the former Liverpool star being substituted.

Despite Liverpool's pressure on ensuring their player got five days rest after the match, Mane said he could 'give up his life' to ensure he was available for their quarter-final match.
