In the crucial battles of the "Premier" league season, the "Liverpool" team may have to do without one of their leaders.
The 24-year-old African injured his knee in last weekend's Liverpool derby, and now there are fears that the recovery period will be lengthy.
The publication "Times" wrote: "The Reds" are facing a real headache - S.Mane is even considering a knee operation, which would mean that he will no longer play this season."
Next match the "Liverpool" team, currently occupying the third place in the tournament, will play on Wednesday, when they meet "Bournemouth" at the "Anfield" stadium.
This season S.Mane scored 13 goals in 27 "Premier" league matches.
