Mane ruled out for six weeks with hamstring injury
Liverpool has ruled Sadio Mane out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury, meaning he will miss Saturday's clash against Manchester United.
Mane picked up the problem on international duty with Senegal and was withdrawn late on in Sunday's (AEDT) 2-0 FIFA World Cup qualifying triumph over Cape Verde.
It will be Mane's second lengthy spell out of the season, after picking up a three-match ban for a dangerous challenge on Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson in September.
The 25-year-old – who has three goals in five Premier League games – has only been involved in one domestic match since returning from that suspension, and now looks set for an even longer absence.
