Sadio Mané, on the height, gives positive news to the fans of Liverpool by raising their thumb after being put on the ground following a collision with the goalkeeper of Cape Verde during the victory of Senegal in the round of 16CAN.

Sadio Mané provided Liverpool fans with a positive update after his head injury during the Senegal victory in the round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations against Cape Verde.

The striker took Instagram to appease concerns by posting a photo of him giving his thumb in the air to the camera.

The concern has increased for the Liverpool striker after a nasty collision with Cape Vozinha Cape Valo goalkeeper in the knockout stages of the CAN.

After being treated for the collision in full flight in the 53rd minute, while he was continuing a long ball in the field, Man2 was authorized to continue his match while Vozinha, who received a red card for this fault,was transported out of the field on a stretcher and was allegedly taken to the hospital.

But after scoring the first goal 10 minutes later, the 29 -year -old went to the field holding his head and had to be helped to get out of the field and finally replaced.

This decision sparked the viewers of the match, who estimated that the necessary protocol had not been followed and that Mane should not have had any choice than to be replaced.

A few hours after the match, Mané and Vozinha were photographed together, smiling and raising her thumb from the hospital.The Liverpool striker wrote: "All is well, thank you all for the messages".

Mané then left the hospital and joined her teammates at their hotel.

The Senegalese international has now calmed the concerns more after having posted a photo of him on an exercise bike on his Instagram.

The attacker can be seen posing on the bike with the thumbs up towards the camera and he led the post: "recovery".

Mane scored the decisive goal to unlock the situation before Bamba Dieng scored in additional time to ensure qualification for the quarter -finals.

But the CAN has since been accused of endangering the health of the player by authorizing him to stay on the field.

Luke Griggs, deputy managing director of Headway, said that Mane's team and tournament organizers' protocols - replacements in the event of a concussion are not authorized at CAN - had put the player in danger.

At first glance, this seems to be another example of the fact that football puts the results before the safety of the players, he said.

It is a repugnant collision that clearly left the two players in a state of distress such as a concussion should have been considered as a minimum possibility.

At that time, the principle of "in doubt, remains on the bench" should have caused the replacement of Mané without another balloon being kicked.

The image of the player collapsing on the ground and having to be helped to get out of the field after scoring his goal should tell you everything you need to know about the impact and the effect he had on hisbrain.

Once again, the desire to win is considered to be worth serious risks to the health of players.It is simply shocking that it continues to happen.

It is now a real leadership test for the African Football Confederation and the World Directory, FIFA, especially if Senegal declares Mané Apt for the quarter -final on Sunday.

If football wants to be taken seriously when it comes to concussion, it must simply take measures to apply and strengthen its protocols.
