​Liverpool centre-back Mamadou Sakho appears to have been handed a lifeline as he tries to rebuild his career at Anfield, with reports that the Frenchman will start for the club's Under-23 side against Wolfsburg on Wednesday night.





The defender has yet to feature for the Reds this season after an apparent fall-out with Jurgen Klopp over the summer, and complained on Snapchat over the weekend that the club 'don't want' him to play for the second team.

The ​Mail report that Sakho is getting ready to line up for Wednesday's Premier League International Cup game, just days after posting: “I accept my situation but I can’t accept the lie. The fans deserve to know the truth. Now it’s three weeks since I am fit to play games. I finish all my rehabilitation work. They don’t want me to play also with second team lol! Why, I don’t know.”





Klopp was quizzed on the posts later in the weekend, saying: “I was confronted this morning with the news that maybe it was something I should know about. But on a match day I am in completely the wrong kind of mood for something like this.

Unexpected chance for Mamadou Sakho tonight; included in @LFC U23 squad to play Wolfsburg. Not yet clear if h starts. Story on @MailSport — Dominic King (@DominicKing_DM) September 28, 2016

“I know something was on the thing that I don’t use [Snapchat] but it is not the right moment to speak about it. It makes sense to think about it and then give the right answer. It is not positive, I would say. I will address the situation when I think it is the right moment. I haven’t decided when the right moment is yet but it is not Christmas.”
