Liverpool dealt injury blow prior to Man Utd clash

Liverpool dealt injury blow prior to Man Utd clash

Sadio Mane is ruled out of Liverpool’s hosting of Manchester United and faces up to six weeks on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old, who made the 30-man Ballon d’Or nomination list on Monday, was assessed by the club’s medical team upon his return from Senegal duty, where he featured for 87 minutes in the 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Cape Verde. He sustained the problem in that encounter, with scans showing the damage is substantial enough to keep him out of action for over a month.
