Liverpool hit with another blow before their encounter against rivals, Man United. Key player Sadio Mane will be out for six weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury while on international shift.

Sad news as another player gets injured on international duty. Sadio Mane, the latest victim claimed by the curse of the international break. What can Liverpool do to solve the Sadio conundrum?

What else could go wrong for a team struggling terribly in the English Premier League? Well, they could lose their most valuable player and not win any games in their last seven, across all competitions.

Wait, sorry, that’s already happened. LFC have already felt the Mane effect after losing him to a three-match ban, when getting sent off against Man City.

Klopp’s set to miss Mane for another six weeks according to the club’s website. Six weeks sits in the mind as an unbearable though, but thinking about Saturday’s clash without Mane, gives any manager a RIP headstone. Well, that’s except Jose Mourinho.

The news has not been met with an open mind across the Anfield network. This mainly because of how poor the Reds have been this season.

If Mane wasn’t to get injured while playing for his country, Liverpool’s attack would have fronted, Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho. Now they a winger short and stand the risk of having two fatigued South American players.

Not looking good for the Anfield outfit ahead of a must win match for Klopp. He and the rest of the squad will really be tested this weekend.

A pass on the test will surely lift the club. Whereas a fail, will have them back to where they were before the international break.

Let’s take a look at how some Liverpool fans took the news of Sadio Mane being injured:
