Sadio Mane treatment labelled "simply shocking" as Liverpool star set for Senegal return

Senegal and the Confederation of African Football have come under fire for allowing a seemingly concussed Sadio Mane back onto the field in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Mane went down following a heavy collision with Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha at the start of the second half of Tuesday's last-16 match in Bafoussam, with the stopper joining his teammate Patrick Andrade in being dismissed and leaving Cape Verde with nine men.
