Mamadou Sakho has been sidelined from Premier League action since the end of last year due to a thigh injury. The French international, of Senegalese descent, has been absent from Liverpool’s lineup for several weeks, and according to his coach, Brendan Rodgers, he is expected to remain sidelined for “a little while longer.”
This news comes as a blow to Didier Deschamps, the French national team coach, with a friendly match against the Netherlands looming in the coming weeks.
