The forward, who has 60 international caps, scored three goals and featured in all but one of Senegal’s AFCON 2019 matches.

Mane is finishing his 16-day post-season break after helping his country reach the final of the tournament, which they lost 1-0 to Algeria in Egypt on July 19.

He is Liverpool’s only absentee ahead of their Community Shield game against Manchester City on Sunday.

Mane, who scored 26 goals in 50 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool last term, will link up with the rest of the squad on Monday, and is in contention ahead of their 2019/20 Premier League season opener against Norwich on Friday night.
