Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Senegal star Sadio Mane should return to first-team training tomorrow.

Mane has been sidelined since picking up a hamstring problem while on international duty in the last FIFA window.

Speaking to the media ahead of Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League match at home to Maribor this evening, Klopp gave an update on Mane and fellow absentee Adam Lallana.

"It looks good. Sadio had this morning a clearing session before he returns to training,” said Klopp on Tuesday.

"Now he's not in the squad so tomorrow is a down day, then on Thursday he should be in training.

"Adam will be part of team training in the international break. Both of them are in a good way, but not good enough to involve them tomorrow or at West Ham [on Saturday]."
