Liverpool boss Klopp confirms Mane available; Henderson & Keita ruled out

Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita will miss Liverpool's Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday night.

But Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp revealed Sadio Mane is in contention for selection after recovering from hand surgery.

Klopp said: "Sadio looked good in training in the last two days.

"He trained completely normal, so if nothing happens he is in contention. I learnt that word a second ago actually! So that's good. We'll see."

On Mane and Henderson, Klopp added: "Naby will not be available, Hendo not as well. Naby is in a good way already. He's outside running and all that stuff. So we'll have to see. We take it now day by day. We cannot put any pressure on that, we have to see when he is fully fit. It should not be that long any more.

"Hendo got a little hamstring injury in the game and how I understood it is that it is not too serious but serious enough that he will not be available tomorrow and not at the weekend also. Then we will count the days. Hopefully he will be back for Arsenal but for the next two not available."
