Sadio Mane is a fitness doubt for Liverpool's crunch Premier League clash with Brighton at Anfield on Sunday.

The Senegal international picked up a knock during last weekend's defeat to Chelsea and has missed a number of training sessions this week.

He was involved in the warm-up with the squad at Melwood on Friday but didn't play a full part in the session.

The absence of the 19-goal winger would be a major blow for the Reds as they seek the point they need to guarantee themselves a top-four finish.

Asked if Mane would be fit, Klopp said: "We will see. It is not the same injury. It's a fresh problem."

Liverpool can ill afford to lose another key man after injuries to the likes of Joel Matip, Joe Gomez, Emre Can and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Klopp was hoping to have Can back in training this week but the results of a scan on his back proved inconclusive.

The Germany international is losing his battle to be fit for the Champions League final against Real Madrid on May 26.

"I cannot and I don’t want to close the door on him," Klopp said.

"Of course it would have been better if he had come back on Monday and said ‘all fine, let’s start’.

"That would have been three weeks (to the final). Now there’s less time but we will see."
