Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has undergone scans in hospital after suffering a shoulder injury, it has been reported.

It is understood Mane sustained the problem in a collision in training on Wednesday morning.

The Reds are waiting to discover the extent of the damage.

Liverpool are next in action on Saturday when they face Burnley away in the Premier League.

Mane marked his competitive debut for the club by scoring with a fine, arrowed finish in Sunday's 4-3 win at Arsenal.

The 24-year-old Senegal international joined the Merseyside outfit from Southampton in June for £30million.

Liverpool face Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday 27 August before returning to Anfield for the first match at the redeveloped ground against champions Leicester City on 10 September.

It is not known how long, if at all, the injury will keep Mane out of action.
