Klopp hints at Sakho exit
Jurgen Klopp has given a strong indication that he is prepared to sell out-of-favour Mamadou Sakho in January.
The France international has been frozen out of the first team picture since being suspended by UEFA in April for failing a drugs test, although the ban was later dropped.
However, the former PSG man was then injured before being sent home from the Merseysiders' pre-season tour of the USA for disciplinary issues and has not set foot on the pitch since.
The defender also criticised Klopp on social media and the manager has now admitted his Anfield career is as-good as over.
There is absolutely no thought or idea to sell any player from the first team squad," he said. "I don't think it would make sense.
"Now you know, I said it: he [Sakho] is not in these plans for the first team.The first-team squad is here [at Liverpool's training ground].
"Do you really think I would have said Sakho will not be sold in winter?
Nothing changed. Once again this actual first-team squad is in this
dressing room, from this point of view nobody will be sold."
