Sadio Mane opens up on his omission from Liverpool's team against Chelsea last weekend

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has admitted it was "not easy" for him to watch the majority of Saturday's Premier League game against Chelsea from the bench, but he has refuted any suggestions of a bust-up with boss Jurgen Klopp.

Mane was caught on camera gesticulating with Klopp after the final whistle, with many observers suggesting the exchange was evidence that the Senegal forward was annoyed to have been left out of one of the biggest games of the season.

Yet Mane has vowed to bounce back from his disappointment, as he offered his first public comments on his omission from the Liverpool line-up.
