Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that ex-Saints star Sadio Mane will “probably not” be fit to face his former club on Saturday
The Senegal international missed Sunday’s FA Cup match against Shrewsbury Town - although it is doubtful he would have played any way - after sustaining a muscle tear.
His absence will not be too long but he will definitely miss tonight’s match against West Ham.
“Sadio will not be involved for West Ham and probably not Southampton,” said the Reds boss.
“After that he will be back on track. He has a small muscle tear which is serious enough. We were lucky with it, though, it wasn’t too serious. He’s out for three games.”
