Mamadou Sakho 's Liverpool career appears to be hanging by a thread following his early morning words on Snapchat after Jurgen Klopp described his actions as “not positive”.

Klopp is likely to act swiftly to the French defender's latest faux pas after he took to social media to complain about “the lie” that had been spread around his situation at Liverpool.

The 26-year-old centre-back is unlikely to have to wait too long to find out his fate either as his manager said it “certainly wouldn't be Christmas” when he addressed the situation.

Sakho – who has not played for Liverpool since April but was at Anfield to witness the Reds' 5-1 drubbing of Hull – took to his social media account in the early hours of Saturday to outline his position after he declined Liverpool's offer to go on loan to get match fit in the transfer window.

He said: “Now it's three weeks I am fit to play games. They don't want me to play with segonde (segondo, U23s) team lol.

“Still working hard like Scouse Soldier! Still not talking cos I want to speak on the pitch....I will speak soon for the people who support me and don't understand the situation (emoji).

"Still happy to live in my Liverpool Country (emoji) with my family, hope to have chance to play soon to give my best like I try to always do!

“I accept my situation but I can't accept the lie....the fans deserve to know the true! Thanks for your support (emoji) 6 six months stay quiet.

“Have good night everybody! You'll never walk alone! (emoji).”

The suggestion that a lie has been told around the Sakho situation will infuriate Klopp but he refused to speak out on a day when his mind has been solely on the match against Hull.



Klopp said: “The thing is I was kind of confronted with this, somebody told me this morning there was something I should know about. Actually on a match day I'm really in a completely wrong mood to think about things like this.

“I know something was on the thing that neither of us use (Snapchat).

“But it's not the right moment to speak about it. Most of the times in life in makes sense to think about something and then it's more likely that you give the right answer.

“It's not positive I would say.

“I will address the situation when I think it's the right moment. I haven't decided when that is yet. But it's not Christmas.”

Sakho's problems started with a doping suspension which was subsequently rescinded after it emerged the substance he took should not have been on the banned list.

He went on the Reds' US summer tour nursing an Achilles problem but was later sent home after turning up late for the flight, missing a team dinner and failing to take part in a recovery session.

Klopp initially suggested the problems were not too serious but the subsequent shock of the team hoping that Sakho would accept a loan deal suggested otherwise.

At this stage his latest words appear at the least unhelpful and at the most possibly catastrophic at a time he is fighting to save his Liverpool career.
