Liverpool given injury boost ahead of Premier League return

 

Liverpool have been handed a boost ahead of their Premier League encounter with Leicester City on Saturday after Sadio Mane came through his injury scare unscathed, reports The Daily Telegraph.

 

Mane picked up a suspected knee injury while on international duty with Senegal during their 2-0 win over Namibia.

 

It had been feared that the 24-year-old would miss Liverpool’s match against the reigning Premier League champions at the weekend but Jurgen Klopp has been assured by Mane he is 100 per cent fit.
