Sadio Mane has become the latest Liverpool player to sustain an injury after suffering a hand injury with Senegal, although an official diagnosis has not yet been given.
Reports claim that Liverpool are aware of the injury and will assess him upon his return back to the club.
It remains unclear whether Mane has withdrawn from the Senegal team ahead of Tuesday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Sudan.
Mohamed Salah has returned to Anfield after picking up an injury late on in Egypt’s 4-1 victory over Swaziland on Friday. The injury is not thought to be a serious one.
However, Virgil van Dijk’s withdrawal from the Netherlands team was a precautionary measure in consultation with the club.
The defender aggravated a rib injury last month and was taken to hospital, this means he will play no part in the Netherlands’ game against Belgium on Tuesday, having played the entire match of Friday’s win over Germany.
“He’s back to Liverpool and he’s ready to play for next week,” Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman told a news conference on Monday. “He takes a rest. He spoke to the manager.
“The medical staff of the Dutch national team spoke to the medical staff of Liverpool and we made the decision that he was only playing the Germany game and then back to Liverpool.
“He’s ready to play next weekend, yes.”
