Mane injury worry
07.30: Sadio Mane has returned to Liverpool after aggravating a hamstring injury while on international duty.
The winger starred for Senegal as they booked their place at the World Cup by beating South Africa 2-0 on Friday.
However, Mane was meant to remain with his national side for another upcoming dead-rubber game against the 2010 World Cup hosts on Tuesday.
But the Senegalese FA have confirmed the 25-year-old has returned to Merseyside.
A statement read: “Following the match South Africa against Senegal Friday, November 10, 2017 in Polokwane, the player Sadio Mane was slightly felt from his old injury.
“After consultations between the medical staff of the national team of Senegal and Liverpool, it was decided by mutual agreement to make it available to his club to continue treatment until full recovery.”
Coutinho happy at Anfield
06.30: Philippe Coutinho has insisted that he is happy with life at Liverpool.
There had been reports that the Brazilian midfielder was furious with Reds officials because his proposed move to Barcelona in the summer fell through.
However, the Catalan club are sure to rekindle their interest when the transfer market reopens in January.
But in the meantime he claims he is solely focussed on performing for Jurgen Klopp’s side – and he could not be any happier.
“I’m playing in one of the biggest leagues in the world,” said Coutinho.
“I’m always happy.
“But now it’s important to concentrate on the national team. At the moment I am very happy with my life.”
Torres wants England return
06.00: Ex-Liverpool striker Fernando Torres wants a return to the Premier League, according to reports.
It is suggested that Newcastle United and Southampton are keen on bringing the Spanish forward back to England.
Torres has found himself behind Antoine Greizmann and Angel Correa in the Atletico pecking order.
And with former Chelsea striker Diego Costa eligible to play in the new year, Torres’ time in the Spanish capital could be coming to an end.
The Mirror are reporting that Torres’ representatives have let the Atletico hierarchy know of his desire to leave, potentially on loan, in the January window.
And his camp have also touched base with ex-boss Benitez and Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino.
