LONDON. — Mamadou Sakho has been sent home from Liverpool’s tour of North America by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. The France international arrived back in the UK yesterday after Klopp took the decision to cut short his stay in the States. Sakho had been receiving treatment on an Achilles injury, which will rule him out of the start of the English Premier League season.

However, the ECHO understands that concerns had been raised about the 26-year-old’s attitude around the club’s training camp in California and that’s prompted his swift return to the UK.

Sakho was booked on the same overnight flight to Heathrow as left-back Brad Smith, who is en route to Bournemouth to undergo a medical ahead of completing a £6million move. — The Liverpool Echo.
