Sadio Mane has twice fallen foul of Jurgen Klopp’s strict sleep regime, according to his Liverpool teammate Simon Mignolet.

The Senegal forward has endured a roller coaster season so far. Having begun the new campaign in scintillating form, Mane was stopped in his tracks by the three-game suspension he incurred for the red card he received against Manchester City, before suffering a hamstring injury on international duty which kept him out of action for over a month.

Mane returned to action in last weekend’s 3-0 win over his former club Southampton and was back on the scoresheet for the first time since August during the midweek Champions League draw against Sevilla.

Despite his impressive performances on the pitch, it appears that Mane lacks a degree of discipline away from it with Mignolet revealing he and Trent Alexander-Arnold have both been fined on several occasions in the last few months for forgetting to programme a mobile phone application that charts the sleeping patterns of Klopp’s players.

‘Sadio Mane & Trent [Alexander-Arnold] were fined the most in the last couple of months,’ Mignolet told Sky Sports.

‘We have to fill out an app in the mornings to say how much we have slept & how well we have slept & they keep forgetting to do it.’

Klopp and Liverpool will surely hope that is Mane who causes Chelsea a few sleepless nights after the two Premier League heavyweights lock horns in Saturday’s crunch Premier League clash.
