Jurgen Klopp has sent Mamadou Sakho home from Liverpool’s pre-season Tour of the United States, amid concerns about the player’s attitude.
According to multiple respected sources, two incidents have left the manager infuriated and the Frenchman will continue his achilles rehab at Melwood as a result.
Until news of what exactly Sakho’s done breaks, we’re not going to pick a side, and hope the club and our much-loved defender can sort this out.
Here’s some fan reaction:

After everything that’s happened and Sakho’s professionalism off the pitch – he’s be the last person with a poor attitude

I expect some fans’ reaction to the ‘Sakho sent home’ news will depend entirely on their view of the manager.

Sakho storms off before a derby? Brendan’s fault. Sakho sent home by Klopp. Good show of strength, Jurgen.

Didn’t Klopp mention Sakho being late in that funny video? Just a thought

Don’t pass judgement on Sakho until you know the truth. It may seem strange but we really don’t know anything.

Speculation on Sakho’s censure aside. It’s Klopps’ way or the highway. Very refreshing.

Hopefully its not an attitude problem IN training
Either way you dont send someone on a 6/7 hour flight home for no real reason ?#Sakho #LFC— Anything Liverpool (@Anything_LFC) July 26, 2016
Oh great. More Sakho controversy. Just as Twitter was getting more fun again recently.

Sakho, what are you doing!? Don’t mess this up. I am hoping it is just an injury but not quite sure that is the real reason #LFC

@cheque197 Klopp has no time with slackers and he is building a team of winners so if Sakho is affecting how the lads train then it’s fair.

Sakho vs Klopp. Two Liverpool fan favourites. Will be interesting to see who fans support

Its entirely possible that Sakho is a very good player, a really nice guy, but also a bit fucking stupid and unprofessional.

I guess sakho could do “a 100 years on Alcatraz” but only just manage 100 hours in the USA ? #LFC #Liverpool
