Sadio Mane came off injured during the first half of Liverpool’s game at Wolves
The 27-year-old initially wandered towards the touchline before sitting down on the pitch while play was still ongoing.
Mane, who has scored 15 goals in 30 games for the Reds this season, then signalled to the bench he needed to come off.
He was replaced by new signing Takumi Minamino, who was handed his Premier League debut.
Jurgen Klopp will be sweating on the fitness of one of his star men and will return for next week’s league trip to West Ham.
