Sadio Mane is fit and available for Liverpool’s Premier League opener at home to Norwich on Friday night.

Mane missed last weekend’s Community Shield against Manchester City after only returning from an extended break on Monday, but has trained with his team-mates this week.

Midfield pair Alex Tettey and Louis Thompson are also expected to be absent.

Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Milner, Salah, Mane, Firmino, Origi, Mignolet, Gomez, Lovren, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Wilson, Brewster.
