Sadio Mane is set to return to Liverpool quite early following Senegal's exit from the African Cup of Nations. The Teranga Lions were bundled out of the competition after losing 5-4 to rivals Cameroon.
Senegal's elimination comes as a blessing to the reds who have only won one match since the superstar's departure to the African nation. So terrible Klopp's men have been to an extent of being knocked out of the FA Cup by Wolves on Saturday at Anfield. And for the first time in more than a year, the Merseyside outfit have lost three home games in a row in all competitions.
Liverpool in 2017
- Played: 8
- Won: 1
- Drawn: 3
- Lost: 4
Their title hopes also hang in the balance and there is only one man who can rescue then right now - his name is Sadio Mane. The speedy forward has scored nine goals in 27 appearances for the reds on his debut season.

And the mood on Twitter reflects exactly what many Liverpool fans think about Senegal's exit from AFCON. Sounds selfish though, but they badly need him at this point.
Sadio Mane misses the crucial penalty and Senegal are OUT of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations..

Sadio Mané left for AFCON with Liverpool 2nd in the league and in both cups. They're now out of the cups and 4th in league. He'll be fuming.
