# Liverpool: Fans delighted that Sadio Mane is back in full training ahead of Everton clash

**Loads of [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/liverpool/) fans reacted in delight to the news that star man Sadio Mane is back in full training with Everton on the horizon.**

The Senegal international was recently ruled out after testing [positive](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/411091-sadio-mane-tests-positive-for-covid-19) for COVID-19, which saw him miss his side’s [7-2](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54313270) defeat to Aston Villa before the international break. But [talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/772733/liverpool-thiago-alcantara-sadio-mane-everton-alisson/) revealed that he has now returned to Melwood and is taking part in sessions with his teammates.

Mane joined new signing Thiago Alcantara on the sidelines, who also [contracted](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/410566-thiago-alcantara-tests-positive-for-covid-19) the virus, with the Spaniard’s only appearance so far being a [45-minute cameo](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2020/09/chelsea-0-2-liverpool-mane-shines-and-thiago-debuts-in-statement-win/) against Chelsea.

Over the years, the 28-year-old has been one of the Reds’ most crucial players following his [£34m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36642523) move from Southampton in 2016, finding the net 84 times in 174 appearances (as per [TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/200512/verein/31)) and entering the club’s [top 20](https://www.lfchistory.net/Stats/PlayerGoalscorers) all-time goalscorers.

Anfield legend Jamie Carragher didn’t hold back on what he thought about Mane, [declaring his love](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jamie-carragher-makes-remarkable-sadio-18646846) for Jurgen Klopp’s number ten during the title celebrations in July.
