Liverpool FC have arranged for a private jet to fly Senegalese striker, Sadio Mane, back from the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
This is to give him a chance of facing English Premier League leaders, Chelsea FC, at Anfield on Tuesday.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Mane is available again after Senegal lost 4-5 on penalty kicks to Cameroon in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
The 24-year-old former Southampton player missed the crucial penalty kick for Senegal, with scores at 4-4 and Cameroon yet to take their final kick.
Liverpool have won only one game since he left for international duty after a 2-2 draw at Sunderland on January 2.
They were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Mane’s former club on Wednesday, then eliminated from the FA Cup by Championship side, Wolves, on Saturday.
The Reds will check on Mane’s fitness before making any decision on his involvement in Tuesday’s game against Chelsea, who are 10 points ahead of them.
