Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp plays down concerns over Sadio Mane's knee injury after draw with Chelsea

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has sought to play down any concerns over a knee injury sustained by forward Sadio Mane.

The Senegal forward appeared to be carrying a knee injury at the final whistle, but Klopp insisted after the match that there were no problems with the fitness of his player.
