However, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Naby Keita and captain Jordan Henderson will be sidelined for the European night at Anfield.


Mane suffered a hand injury on international duty for Senegal, meaning he had to sit out of Liverpool's 1-0 win at Huddersfield Town on Saturday.


"Sadio looked good in training in the last two days," Klopp said on his forward. "He trained completely normal, so if nothing happens he is in contention. I learnt that word a second ago actually! So that's good. We'll see."


Keita, like Mane, suffered an injury on international duty for Guinea last week and didn't feature in Saturday's win.


Henderson started the game on Saturday evening but he was forced off at half-time due to a hamstring problem and he looks set to sit out of the Red Star Belgrade clash and the visit of Cardiff at the weekend.

"Naby will not be available, Hendo not as well," Klopp continued. "Naby is in a good way already. He's outside running and all that stuff.


"So we'll have to see. We take it now day by day. We cannot put any pressure on that, we have to wait to see when he is fully fit. It should not be that long any more.


"Hendo got a little hamstring injury in the game and how I understood it is that it is not too serious but serious enough that he will not be available tomorrow and not at the weekend also.


"Then we will count the days. Hopefully he will be back for Arsenal, but for the next two not available."
