The Post: Liverpool club hope Mane does not risk his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals

According to the Post, after Mane was hit in the head, Liverpool hoped that he would not risk participating in the quarter-finals of the African Cup of Nations.

In Senegal's 2-0 victory over Cape Verde in the 1/8 final of the Africa Cup of Nations, Mane insisted on playing and scored a goal after being hit in the head by the opposing goalkeeper, after which he was substituted and sent to the local hospital for treatment, and developed symptoms of dizziness and suspected concussion. But on Saturday, Mane resumed training and posted photos of himself training on a bike.

In the Premier League, according to premier league football rules, players will automatically miss the next game after a head injury and a concussion, but in the African Cup of Nations, Mane may continue to play. The Post revealed that Liverpool clubs have contacted the Senegalese national team to call for Mane not to risk his participation in this Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final between Senegal and Equatorial Guinea. However, Liverpool can only make this position clear, but they have no right to decide whether Mane can play.

The Senegalese national team doctor issued a statement saying: "All the symptoms that Mane appeared on the pitch are now gone, and everything is normal on the X-ray." Senegalese national team coach Cisse said: "I can assure you that the health of Mane and all the players is very important. We never bet on the health of our players. But headway, a brain injury charity, criticized the Senegalese national team for putting the results above the health of key players and asked FIFA to intervene.
