Liverpool fans issued a huge sigh of relief after Sadio Mane injury scare with Senegal

Liverpool star Sadio Mane was not injured while on international duty and was substituted for disciplinary reasons, it has been revealed. The Reds forward played in Senegal’s 4-1 win over Eswatini on Sunday in a qualifier for the Africa Cup of Nations but was taken off at half-time.

Despite the scores still at 0-0, Mane, who had already been booked, was subbed because of a worry that he may be sent off. Senegal went on to win the game easily with a hat-trick from Bristol City forward Famara Diedhiou.

Mane has been one of Jurgen Klopp 's most important players so far this season as Liverpool look to go one better than last season and win the Premier League title. And they have started in brilliant fashion with Mane scoring seven goals in 12 league matches with the team eight points clear.

There were fears that he had been taken off at half-time on Senegal duty because of an injury fear but fans can breathe a huge sigh of relief. The 27-year-old had been fouled on several occasions and was becoming increasingly frustrated. Manager Aliou Cisse decided to take his star player off as not to risk losing him for future matches because of suspension.

Klopp will be pleased that Mane did not play the full game and he should be fine to start Liverpool’s trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday. The Reds will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League at Selhurst Park.

Mohamed Salah, Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson, Virgil Van Dijk, and Andy Robertson all withdrew from international duty, and are all possible doubts for the game, however. The most concerning maybe Robertson, who admitted he had been dealing with a niggling ankle injury for a number of weeks.

For the last two and a half weeks, I've not trained at all for Liverpool, he revealed after pulling out of the Scotland squad.
