Sadio Mane shares his quarantine workout
Liverpool star Sadio Mane has shared his quarantine workout on Instagram as the squad remains locked in their own homes.
Jurgen Klopp has sent the whole squad home with personalised training plans and a message to stay match fit, and Mane has given us an indication of what that looks like.
And the Senegal international isn’t pumping weights, he’s smashing it on the treadmill as he tries to keep his aerobic fitness in check.
With sweat running down his body, Sadio Mane looks every inch the performance athlete that he is – able to sustain Klopp’s exhausting demands for 90 minutes or more.

The forward is a vital part of Liverpool and Senegal’s sides and as a result he is expected to play an incredible amount of games. These two weeks off might come as a blessing in disguise, and will allow him to heal those contact knocks and little niggles.
But by the looks of things, all his joints and bones are behaving themselves as Mane pounded it out on the treadmill.
There’s still this strange fascination with selling either him or Mohamed Salah to make room for new faces in the squad, but that doesn’t make sense.
Why would Klopp sanction a deal that make his team weaker, and certainly left him with fewer options on the bench, by selling a world-class star like Sadio Mane?
He’s one of the heartbeats of his Liverpool side and it wouldn’t be the same without him. That’s why it’s good to see him putting the miles in so, so hopefully he’ll be able to hit the ground running with the Premier League resumes.
There are plans in place to play all remaining games, said the Daily Mail, so we’ll need the whole squad to be ready to go when the time comes. We’ve got no worries about Mane, though.
