Liverpool fans were understandably very disappointed upon hearing about Mane's injury. The winger has been brilliant for Jurgen Klopp's team since signing from Southampton last summer, and Liverpool's form dipped when he left for the African Nations Cup last January.
When news of his injury broke on Tuesday, thoughts turned to who could potentially replace Mane in the starting XI, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's name was mentioned by several people on social media.
The former Arsenal winger joined Liverpool for £40m towards the end of the transfer window, more than what the club paid for Mo Salah and Mane, but he hasn't had a great start to life at Anfield.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's playing-time has been limited, and he has failed to impress when he has featured. The 24-year-old joined the club because he wants to play in central midfield, but some Liverpool fans reckon he could now get a chance to play as a wide-forward, in Mane's position.
None seem fully convinced that Oxlade-Chamberlain can adequately replace Mane, but they reckon he'll never have a better opportunity to prove his worth.
