Liverpool and Senegal international forward Sadio Mane is set to return to training within 10 days after recovering from a knee injury.

The 25 year old needed surgery and missed the final eight games of last season after picking up the injury during a 3-1 win over Everton on 1 April.

He is set to miss Liverpool's opening pre-season friendlies.

"He will continue to be monitored and assessed by the club's medical staff to ensure he returns in the best shape," said a Liverpool statement.
