Report: Liverpool's Mane suffers broken thumb

Sadio Mane might be sporting a cast during his next appearance for Liverpool following news that the winger suffered a hand injury while on international duty.

Liverpool has been made aware that Mane is nursing an injury, with reports suggesting the Senegal international broke his thumb, according to Ian Doyle of the Liverpool Echo.

Mane is expected to be assessed by Liverpool's medical staff upon his arrival at the team's training ground, Melwood.

It's unclear if he'll be available for Liverpool's next Premier League match against Huddersfield on Saturday.

Mane's reported injury is the latest blow for Liverpool, as star forward Mohamed Salah was forced to return to England ahead of schedule after suffering an injury last week with Egypt.
