Sadio Mane Back in Liverpool Training Ahead of Crucial Champions League Meeting With Red Star

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has been tipped to return to training on Monday after suffering a hand injury during the international break, which now puts him in contention to feature in the Champions League against Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday.

Mane went under the knife last week after picking up the problem in action for Senegal and missed the weekend's 1-0 Premier League win over Huddersfield while he recovered.

But Goal reporter Neil Jones declared on Monday afternoon that the 26-year-old would be back on the training pitch later in the day, with social media quickly awash with delighted Liverpool fans.
