Jurgen Klopp has offered defender Mamadou Sakho a glimmer of hope that he can still salvage his Liverpool career.

The France international joined Crystal Palace on loan for the rest of the season on deadline day.

Sakho hasn't played for Liverpool since last April and his relationship with Klopp completely broke down after he was sent home from the pre-season tour of America for disciplinary issues last July.

The Reds were hoping to off-load Sakho, who is under contract until 2020, permanently during the January window but no-one was willing to meet their £20million valuation.

Palace ended up paying a £2million loan fee and agreed to cover his wages in full.

His prospects look bleak but Klopp says he will make a judgement on Sakho's future come the end of the season.

Klopp said: “This isn't the moment for me to give advice to Mamadou Sakho. If I give him advice, I'll do it personally and not on the TV.

"Who knows what happens in half a year? We've already felt what changed in the space of a month.

"I think he should concentrate on the job at Crystal Palace, we'll concentrate on the job we're doing here.

"In this moment he's on loan and still has a contract at Liverpool. The loan is a solution for this moment. We can wait for new impressions and see what happens."
