Sadio Mane has shrugged off concerns over Liverpool’s upcoming fixture list, insisting “tiredness is all in the head".
The Reds are at the start of a manic period, which will see them play 14 games across a 43-day period between late-November and early-January. In December alone, they play nine times in four different competitions.
That has, naturally, led to some concerns as to how Jurgen Klopp and his squad will cope. They lost Fabinho, their key midfield player, to an ankle injury against Napoli on Wednesday night, and are already without defender Joel Matip, who has been absent with a knee issue.
