He said: “It’s great that I have received so many encouraging messages from fans around the world, particularly on social media.

“It makes me proud and gives me so much power that so many supporters of Liverpool FC and Senegal give me such great support. I’d like to say thank you to everyone.

“I will give my very best after yesterday’s successful surgery to be back on the pitch as soon as possible and be even better than before.”

Liverpool not scared by the Ox

Jürgen Klopp is looking to take advantage of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlin’s uncertain future at Arsenal, despite the Gunners slapping a £35million price tag on him. Klopp is an admirer of the 23-year-old and hopes the price will be driven down as he looks to build upon his number of England internationals in the side.

In other transfer news, Fulham left-back Ryan Sessegnon has been given a ‘hands off’ warning. The 16-year-old is seen as a primary target for the Reds as they look to strengthen the position. However, Fulham boss, Slavisa Jokanovic has stated that he will not be available on the transfer market this summer.
