Klopp was so worried about Mane injury that he called the star while he was in Dakar

Posted by

Jurgen Klopp was so concerned with the condition of Sadio Mane that he personally called the star from Liverpool while he was on international duty with Senegal in Dakar.

His mind was put at ease after he was reassured there was no problem and the early substitution was merely precautionary.

Our new £36 million man was taken off after 66 minutes of Senegal’s 2-0 win over Namibia in the African Cup of Nations qualifier at the weekend.

The Express reports that Mane reported to Melwood today as expected and he will be available for selection for the visit of reigning Premier League champions Leicester City at the weekend.

Elsewhere, Emre Can is sweating on his fitness after injuring a foot with Germany, but Ragnar Klavan is fine after missing the Spurs game with a knee injury.

Kick-off at Anfield is at 5.30pm BST on Saturday afternoon.
