Sadio Mane will miss Liverpool’s pre-season training including the opening match of the season due to his international exploit.
Senegal are on the verge of making history by winning their first ever Africa Cup of Nation title and Mane will be tasked to fulfill that dream by either scoring or assisting a goal.
The Lions of Teranga are now through to another final and this time around, they will face the desert foxes ‘Algeria’ on Sunday.
Mane’s international exploit with Senegal means he be given at least a month break. But his absence won’t be felt, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Alisson Becker will all be back before the kickoff against Norwich City.
