Reds fury over Mane Afcon OK

- DAVID LYNCH

SADIO MANE is at the centre of club v country row after the Liverpool star was given the green light to play for Senegal tonight.

Anfield chiefs are furious that Mane was declared fit to play against Equatorial Guinea in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals, despite being involved in a sickening head clash just six days ago.

The forward suffered concussion after the heavy collision, but returned to the pitch to play on and score against Cape Verde. Despite going to hospital, FIFA’s protocol state a player must not be selected to play for a minimum of six days.
