# Liverpool confirm surgery for Sadio Mane following hand injury

Liverpool have confirmed that Sadio Mane has undergone surgery in a bid to recover from a hand-related injury that he suffered while away on international duty.

[As reported by the club’s official website](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/321099-sadio-mane-hand-injury-update), Mane’s surgery was successful but it is yet to be seen if he will be fit enough to feature against Huddersfield Town this weekend.

The player broke a bone in his hand while playing for Senegal.

The Reds have revealed that they will monitor his recovery ahead of the game on Saturday night.

It would come as a huge boost for Jurgen Klopp if they player was fit enough to feature against David Wagner’s side after a difficult international break for the club.

Naby Keita was forced out of Guinea’s game with a thigh injury, while there are also concerns over the fitness of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, with the latter still troubled by a rib injury.
