​Sadio Mane to begin full training for Liverpool next week

Sadio Mane will resume full training for Liverpool next week.

The Senegalese attacker was left out of the Reds squad that will take part in the Asia Trophy in Hong Kong this week to continue his rehabilitation from knee surgery.

In a refreshing piece of news for Liverpool fans, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Mane will take part in the pre-season preparations.

"Sadio is on the way back," manager Jurgen Klopp told the club's website. "The plan is he will come with us to Germany.

"The plan is he trains completely normally with us when we are back in England.

"We have been waiting long enough for him now. He is around [Melwood] all of the time and is in pretty good shape.

"Unfortunately he was not ready to train, but he looked good, it [the injury] looks good and so now he should be fine when we get back."
