The 30-year-old attacker has been in fine form for Bayern Munich since his switch away from L4 this summer, amassing 15 goal contributions in 23 games (across all competitions) this season.

We at the Empire of the Kop would like to firstly wish the former Anfield favourite well in his recovery efforts.
It’s a huge shame that players of the calibre of Mane, Bobby Firmino and Mo Salah – a forward line that once dominated the European stage – won’t be gracing the turf.
There’s no question that our former No.10 will be a big miss in Qatar, though we hope the issue doesn’t keep him out of action for a prolonged period of time.
