# Mane returns to training ahead of Norwich clash

Sadio Mane’s return to Liverpool’s starting line-up doesn’t look too far away, if new [footage](https://twitter.com/GrizzKhan/status/1226585348291145729?s=20) is anything to go by.

The Senegalese superstar was spotted looking sharp in training over the weekend, with a short video of the player going through the motions circulating [across social media](https://twitter.com/GrizzKhan/status/1226585348291145729?s=20).

Mane [could be back](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-star-sadio-mane-hints-17708712) for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Norwich City at Carrow Road, as Jurgen Klopp’s side look to go [25 points clear of Manchester City](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table).

The 27-year-old hasn’t appeared since [limping out](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51231025) of Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Wolves on January 23rd.

Even though Klopp’s men have won every game since then, barring the [2-2 draw at Shrewsbury Town](https://www.skysports.com/football/shrewsbury-vs-liverpool/422624) in the FA Cup, his return could still be a huge boost. He has [scored 11 goals and registered six assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109915/Show/Sadio-Man%C3%A9) in the league this season, once again proving to be a hugely important figure for the Reds.

Mane has popped up at key moments during the campaign, most notably at Aston Villa in November, when his stoppage time header secured a [priceless 2-1 victory](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50190998).
