The Liverpool fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are hoping so…
It has been quite the fall from grace for Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho.
After a relatively impressive 2015/16 season, the Frenchman was unceremoniously dumped from Liverpool’s pre-season tour after an incident, and thus far – he is yet to make it into Jurgen Klopp’s plans.
A lack of fitness has proven to be an issue for the divisive star, and he has resultantly been playing with the under-23’s as he bids for Klopp’s support once more.
Now, after several weeks within the youth setup; Liverpool under-23 manager Michael Beale has revealed that Sakho is getting very close to full fitness.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, he said: “Mama is training with us and he’s working hard every day. That’s the closest he’s looked to full fitness”.
He added: “A couple more games like that and we’ll see what happens from there”.
A few of the Liverpool fans in the Football Transfer Tavern had completely forgotten about Sakho, but the news that he could be nearing full fitness is a huge boost.
It remains to be seen whether the Frenchman can force his way back into Jurgen Klopp’s plans – but you can’t fault the lad for trying.
Our landlord thinks he could be a huge asset for Klopp this season.
