Liverpool's Mohamad Salah has told his teammates to focus on the future and not on the injury to Sadio Mane.

The Reds will be without Mane for six weeks, meaning he will miss this Saturday's clash with Manchester United at Anfield, as well as matches against Tottenham and Chelsea.

Salah, who is leading the club with six goals this season, told the club's website: "I texted him when he was at the national [team] and then when he came back. He told me then he was injured, so that's bad news for everyone.

"But that's football and anything can happen. Now we have to focus on the game and keep moving forward."
