Liverpool return to Premier League action this weekend when they take on Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday evening. Jurgen Klopp’s side will be looking to register their 25th league win in 26 games, which would take them a step closer to becoming the champions of England for the first time since the 1989/90 season.
Sadio Mane is back in training after having suffered an injury at Molineux versus Wolverhampton Wanderers last month and he was all smiles ahead of the clash, judging by the images posted on the club’s official Twitter account of the winger in action.

What do we think?
Sadio Mane’s average performance rating this season currently stands at 7.5/10 (via WhoScored.com), highlighting just how consistent the 27-year-old has been for the Anfield club. In the Premier League alone, the Senegalese star has scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 22 appearances (as per Transfermarkt).
Signed from Southampton in 2016 for a fee of £37m (as per Transfermarkt.co.uk), Mane has continued to develop and judging by the comments from the supporters above, he’s become a real fan favourite on Merseyside.
