Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Liverpool are lucky to escape Mane’s injury as the Senegalese prepares to return to action soon.

According to Klopp, Mane will not feature in Liverpool’s game against West Ham at the London Stadium on Wednesday.

The Reds will play their outstanding game on January 29 and a win will give them a 19-point extension on top of the league table.

Mane sustained a muscle issue during the Reds win at the Molineux against Wolverhampton Wanderers last Thursday night.

“Sadio will not be involved for West Ham and probably not for Southampton,” said the manager. “After that he should be then fine.

“The week we have then after that is for him perfect to get back on track.

“He has a small muscle tear, which is serious enough to keep him out. We were lucky with the injury as well, so it was not that serious.

“But of course, when you have three games in a week then that means he is out for these three games.”
