BREAKING NEWS: Liverpool’s Mane out for six weeks with hamstring injury

Sadio Mane’s season has been interrupted again after Liverpool revealed he will be out for over a month with a hamstring problem.

Liverpool have ruled Sadio Mane out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury, a significant blow ahead of Saturday’s clash against Manchester United.

Mane picked up the problem on international duty with Senegal and was withdrawn late on in Saturday’s 2-0 World Cup qualifying triumph over Cape Verde.

It will be Mane’s second lengthy spell out of the season, after picking up a three-match ban for a dangerous challenge on Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson in September.

The 25-year-old who has three goals in five Premier League games – has only been involved in one domestic match since returning from that suspension, and now looks set for an even longer absence.
