"Liverpool" star Sadio Mane, representing the Senegal national team, suffered a hamstring injury, which will have serious consequences.
During examinations, it was revealed that the country's forward may have to miss approximately six weeks. This means that he will not only be unable to play this weekend against "Manchester United", but will also have to watch from the sidelines for a whole series of other important matches.
The 25-year-old footballer is crucial to the Merseyside club, as experts also acknowledged yesterday, including him in the list of 30 candidates to win the "Ballon d'Or" award.
Interestingly, with Mane on the pitch, "Liverpool" averages 2.2 goals per game, but without him, this number drops to 1.6.
Senegalese will also miss the "Premier" league matches against London's "Tottenham" and "Chelsea", as well as Champions League games against "Maribor" and "Sevilla".
Mane will now join two other key players Nathaniel Clyne and Adam Lallana, who have been recovering from injuries throughout this season.
Last year, the forward was voted as the best player of "Liverpool", and this season he scored three goals in five English Premier League matches.
