The France global has not featured for Jurgen Klopp since he was sent home from their pre-season tour of United States for a breach of discipline.

As for Sakho, although he has been frozen out, using social media to vent his frustration and speak out against his manager probably isn’t the smartest thing to do.
When asked about Sakho’s conduct, Klopp said: “The thing is I was kind of confronted with this, somebody told me this morning there was something I should know about”.
He said: “Now it’s three weeks I am fit to play games”.
“I finish all my rehabilitation work”.
The remarks risk aggravating his relationship with Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp, who has not picked the centre back since he was banned for failing a drugs test in April.
“I think I will address the situation when I think it’s the right moment”. They don’t want me to play with segonde (segondo, U23s) team lol.
Sakho has made 55 appearances for Liverpool since joining them from Paris St-Germain in 2013.
“Still not talking because I want to speak on the pitch. He’s still working, but it’s a big difference between match fitness, that’s all”.
“If you have the number one shirt and you don’t play any games it doesn’t really help you”. It makes sense to think about something and then you give the right answer.
Is Sakho is refusing to accept his behaviour falls below Klopp’s standards? Perhaps it’s going to need more time than he thought. I will address the situation when I think is the right moment.
“I think it might be hard for him to come back to be honest”. Maybe we’ll find out around January time, if he does look to move Sakho on or to integrate him into the team.
In his first season he guided Liverpool to the League Cup final, the Europa League final and eighth in the Premier League and his players have enjoyed a fine start to the new campaign, including eye-catching victories away at Arsenal and Chelsea.
Liverpool face Swansea City in Saturday’s early kick-off, before a crucial clash against Manchester United at Anfield after the worldwide break.
