Sadio Mane is ready to provide Jurgen Klopp with a major fitness boost ahead of their crucial Champions League meeting with Napoli.
As reported by the club’s official website, the Senegalese winger is available and could well feature against Carlo Ancelotti’s men.
Speaking about the player’s condition, Klopp explained:
Sadio can deal with the pain obviously – it looked like that in Bournemouth, so that’s cool. It’s good enough that we can consider him at least.
Mane’s return will come as a huge boost for Klopp after the winger missed the away win at Burnley.
He was also forced to start on the bench against Bournemouth but did come on for the latter stages of the game, helping the Reds on their way to a 4-0 win.
Mane’s return could be bad news for summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri. The Swiss winger has come into the side in Mane’s absence and performed well when given the chance.
Liverpool know that they must beat Napoli on Tuesday night and do so by at least two goals to progress into the next round.
