Sakho was dropped from the Liverpool first team at the start of the 2016/17 campaign by manager Jurgen Klopp who had allegedly grown tired of the Frenchman's lack of discipline on the Reds pre-season tour of America in the summer of 2016.

However, after spending the latter half of last season on loan with Crystal Palace and proving to be a valuable asset to the Eagles, Riise has suggested Sakho could once again play for Liverpool.
