Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has suggested that he has no issues with Sadio Mane playing for Senegal next week.

Mane has been sidelined since October 7 because of a hamstring injury, but Klopp has revealed that the winger could return for the Premier League fixture with West Ham United.

Klopp has hinted that the 25-year-old will feature off the bench, and the German feels that would justify being able to represent his country as they look to qualify for the World Cup.

The 50-year-old told reporters: "We are trying to get in contact with Senegal FA. Is he 100% fit? That's different.

"If Senegal get the point they need in first game then ideal situation would be that he doesn't play the second game. If Sadio can play for Senegal then I think he should as it will be good for him to get some rhythm."

Mane had already been called up to Senegal's squad before news of his early recovery.
