Liverpool have received a major boost after Sadio Mane returned to full training at Melwood.

The Reds winger has recovered from the hamstring problem he aggravated on international duty and is expected to be fit to start Saturday’s Premier League clash against his former club Southampton.

Mane was released early by Senegal after complaining of discomfort following their 2-0 win over South Africa last Friday which booked their place in next summer’s World Cup in Russia.

He was back at Melwood on Tuesday and after two days of rehab, he was given the green light to play a full part in today’s session.

It means Jurgen Klopp could unleash the attacking quartet of Mane, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho from the start of a Premier League game for the first time.

The Reds boss also has captain Jordan Henderson back fit and Adam Lallana is eyeing his first appearance of the season after three-and-a-half months out with a thigh injury.

Gini Wijnaldum received a round of applause from his team-mates after his recent birthday. The Dutch midfielder turned 27 last weekend.

It's been a stop-start season for Mane so far. He served a three-match ban following his red card against Manchester City and spent a month on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury before making an impressive return in the emphatic triumph over West Ham prior to the international break.
