Sadio Mane is expected to be fit for Senegal when they take on Equatorial Guinea in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday.
Mane suffered a sickening clash of heads with Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha as they challenged for a long ball shortly before the hour mark in their round of 16 game on Tuesday.
The Liverpool star was not substituted - despite seeming to be momentarily knocked unconscious after the contact - and he scored the opening the goal of the game just minutes later.
Worryingly, Mane fell to the ground 13 minutes after the coming together and was taken to hospital for a check-up.

Senegal went on to win the game 2-0, progressing to the quarters.
And Mane's national team manager has explained where things stand ahead of tomorrow's match.
"He's doing well," Senegal coach Aliou Cisse said.
"He resumed training yesterday. We're gradually following his development and he's going to train today."
"The clash between the two players was a serious one, but he's a top-level athlete who knows his own body very well," said Cisse, explaining his decision to allow Mane to initially carry on playing.
"When the clash happened he continued to play, our doctors came onto the pitch, the referee was there too. He was still conscious, the proof was him scoring the first goal.
"He still had his wits about him when he came off. There was no alert on the bench that pushed us to make a change.
"But I can reassure you, the health of Sadio Mane and of all the players is very important.
"We've never gambled with the health of our players, the result will not be placed on top of that."
Last week Luke Griggs, the deputy chief executive of brain injury association Headway, gave his take on the Mane and Vozinha incident.
He said to the Press Association: “On the face of it, this seems to be yet another example of football putting results ahead of player safety.
“This was a sickening collision that clearly left both players in enough distress for a concussion to have surely been considered a possibility at the very least.
“At that point, the principle of ‘if in doubt, sit it out’ should have resulted in Mane being substituted without another ball being kicked."
Mr Griggs added: “Yet again, the desire to win is seen as being worth serious risks to players’ health. It is simply shocking that this continues to happen."
