Klopp leads Liverpool players to celebrate Mane's birthday in lockdown

Sadio Mane turned 28 on Friday and his Liverpool teammates including manager Jurgen Klopp celebrated the 2019 African Player of the Year during their personalised training sessions at home.

The United Kingdom has been under a three-week lockdown since March 23 as the government aims to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

The spread of Covid-19 forced the indefinite suspension of the 2019-20 Premier League season until 'it is safe and appropriate to resume play'.

The restriction did not stop Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Dejan Lovren, Naby Keita, James Milner, Georginio Wijnaldum and other Liverpool players from celebrating Mane's birthday.
