Liverpool boss Klopp confirms Mane available for Arsenal clash

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that Sadio Mane will be fit to face Arsenal this weekend.

The electric forward picked up a rib injury while on international duty with Senegal but returned to training in Liverpool this week ahead of their crunch match with the Gunners on Saturday.

"Sadio is fine – painful but fine," Klopp told the Liverpool official website.

"Everybody who had a rib bruise knows it's an annoying thing. But Sad trained here with us now in all sessions.

"We took him out a little bit earlier here and there when we knew now it will be full contact, stuff like this, just to give it a bit more time to settle. But he looks fine."
