Liverpool star Mane may miss crucial meeting with PSG

Liverpool will give Sadio Mane until late in the day, after a report indicates that the player was seriously in danger of missing his decisive bout in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.

The Reds are due to embark Tuesday for a flight to Paris before Wednesday's deciding match at Parc des Princes, which will play an important role in the hopes of both teams to reach the knockout stages of the competition.

But Jurgen Klopp's team may have to do it without Mane, who would feel bad and who, at this stage, is not well enough London Evening Standard.

Mane, who has scored seven goals in 17 games this season, will have until Tuesday night to prove his form, otherwise Klopp will be forced to leave one of his star men at home.

The defeat in Serbia against Belgrade Red Star means that Klopp's team lost its strong position at the top of Group C and needed a win against one of its most formidable opponents to progress.

Not to beat PSG in Paris would be a tense final to win that could also require a victory by two clear goals to straighten his face-to-face record with the Serie A team.

Speaking Sunday night, Mane, last week engaged in a huge new Liverpool contract, listed the three obvious players his team must beware of if they want to inflict a rare home defeat to the league giants.

"It's an important game [against PSG]. Neymar, Mbappe, Cavani … even defensively, they are really impressive, "said Mane Telefoot.

"Kylian Mbappe is an excellent player, he has progressed so fast. It's good for the French national team. He gave you the World Cup this summer. It's so good for you.

However, Mane is confident in her ability to do the job in France and achieve what no other team has done at Parc des Princes this season.

In fact, PSG lost only once at home last season – in its last game of the season against Rennes – while the title was already wrapped up.

"The ethics of our team is fantastic," added Mane. "Everything we do, we do it together. That's why we are so strong.

"It will not be easy against Paris, but with Liverpool everything is possible."
