Jurgen Klopp expects Egypt's Mohamed Salah to return to Liverpool sooner than Sadio Mane following Senegal's victory in the Africa Cup of Nations final.

Liverpool are seemingly set to welcome Mohamed Salah back to the fold earlier than Sadio Mane following the Africa Cup of Nations.

Salah was in tears as his Egypt side fell to Mane's Senegal in the AFCON final on Sunday night, with the former Southampton man scoring the winning penalty in the shootout for his country.

Jurgen Klopp expects both men to be in contention for the visit of Leicester City to Anfield in the Premier League on Thursday, with Salah likely to return sooner as Mane enjoys the post-trophy celebrations.

"I think they will be available [for Leicester] but we will see," Klopp told reporters ahead of Sunday's FA Cup victory over Cardiff City.

"Tuesday or Wednesday latest the winner will be back, the other slightly earlier. I have to talk to them. They have rhythm as [they have] played quite a few games!"

Mane was crowned AFCON Player of the Tournament after bagging three goals and two assists in seven matches for Senegal, who won their first AFCON title after finishing as runners-up in 2002 and 2019.
