Sakho admits to breaking club rules


Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho has opened up about his falling out with manager Jurgen Klopp during the club's pre-season tour of the United States.

The France international has been frozen out of the first team since he was sent home from the Merseysiders' pre-season tour of the USA for disciplinary issues.

He has been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield but it is thought his wages are proving a stumbling block.

Reflecting on his falling out with Klopp, the 26-year-old admits he broke club rules and is working hard to ensure he is ready for when he finally gets the chance to play again.

"It is true that I turned up late. There was a rule that I should have observed. I do not at all see myself as above the rules, I respect everyone," Sakho told Canal Football Club.

"I paid my fine, I was sanctioned, I apologised to my team-mates and my manager. Aside from that… I do not want to go into the controversies.

"I work a lot, I have the chance to train with the reserve team, which allows me to keep up. And beside that I have my trainer. So I work a lot to stay on top of my game."

More games than ever before! eir Sport will show 23 live games from the Allianz Leagues, including five triple headers. The eir Sport pack is free to eir residential broadband customers.
