Liverpool manager Klopp plays down Mane injury after West Ham win

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Sadio Mane's injury is 'nothing too serious'.

The Senegalese missed the 3-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday.

Asked about Mane's injury, Klopp answered: "It happened in the game against Tottenham, so it is nothing too serious, but serious enough to not be involved today.

"[We hope] that this is something like this doesn't happen again. We had less than 72 hours between games and no-one wants to hear that, but it's like this.

"We have to try to make sure the boys' recovery is as good as possible, but Bobby (Firmino) is fine."
