Sadio Mane in hospital with Liverpool FC training shoulder injury

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has been taken to hospital after suffering a shoulder injury in training.

Mane sustained the problem during a session at Melwood on Wednesday ahead of the Reds’ Premier League encounter with Burnley this weekend.

A member of the club’s medical staff accompanied the Senegal international, 24, as he left Liverpool’s training ground in West Derby.

The £30 million summer arrival from Southampton will undergo a scan on the injury which threatens to rule him out of Saturday’s trip to Turf Moor.

He had left a good first impression on the Anfield faithful with a goal on his debut in last Sunday’s seven-goal thriller with Arsenal.
