Sadio Mane has been ruled out of Liverpool's match against Manchester United at Anfield on Saturday.
The Senegal winger suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty and could be unavailable for up to six weeks, Liverpool have confirmed on their official website.
If he is out for that long then Mane would miss four further Premier League fixtures.

Mane scored in each of Liverpool's first three matches of the season and was named the EA SPORTS Player of the Season for August.
Since being sent off against Manchester City in Matchweek 4, however, he has played only once, in a 1-1 draw at Newcastle United, with Jurgen Klopp's side winning one of their matches in his absence.
