Sadio Mane: Liverpool still waiting on severity of forward's injury

[greeNZ]

Liverpool's Sadio Mane will miss Wednesday's match with Bournemouth, but Jurgen Klopp says it is "possible" the Senegal forward could be ruled out for the rest of the Premier League season.

Mane, 24, had to be taken off after suffering a knee injury in Saturday's 3-1 home victory over Everton.

There were reports that Mane, a £34m signing from Southampton last summer, might miss the rest of the campaign.

But manager Klopp said: "It is not 100% clear. We have to wait a bit."

When asked if the injury would be "season-ending", the German added: "Unfortunately it is possible. But why should I say that now?

"The only thing I can say for sure is he will not be available for tomorrow. The knee is swollen and we have to wait for the final assessment."
