Sadio Mane was taken to hospital for assessment after injuring his shoulder in training on Wednesday, according to Sky sources.

Liverpool's £30m summer signing was hurt in a collision and left Melwood to undergo scans, although it is understood he suffered a muscle injury rather than a dislocation.

Mane is now a doubt for Saturday's game against Burnley and will be monitored as the week goes on.

The new arrival made an instant impact on his Reds debut at the weekend, scoring a solo goal as his new side began the Premier League season with a 4-3 win at Arsenal.
