Key player passed fit for Liverpools Champions League clash with PSG
Jurgen Klopp will be able to call upon each member of Liverpools celebrated front three against PSG on Wednesday after Sadio Mane was passed fit to play.
The 26-year-old played the full 90 minutes in Liverpools 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday before coming down with an illness which made him a doubt for the Champions League clash.
Liverpool assessed Mane following a training session on Tuesday morning and he has been deemed fit enough to travel with the squad to Paris for arguably the biggest game of the clubs season.
Mane signed a new five-year deal with Liverpool last Thursday following a sensational start to the season which has seen him score seven goals in all competitions.

He celebrated his contract extension with an influential display against Watford providing an assist for Mohamed Salahs opening goal and playing a part in Roberto Firminos third as his shot was saved by Ben Foster, leaving the Brazilian with a tap-in.
Klopp will be hoping all three of his attackers can have a similarly effective display in the Parc Des Princes as Liverpools hopes of progression from Group C hang in the balance.
With just two games to play, including on Wednesday night, all four teams in the group can still qualify with only two points separating Napoli in first place with Red Star Belgrade in fourth.
PSG have blown away their domestic rivals this season, winning all 14 of their Ligue 1 matches to open up a 15-point lead over Lyon at the top of the table, however they have struggled in the Champions League winning just one of their four matches.
Thomas Tuchel is expected to be able to recall his two best players for the game, though with Kylian Mbappe and Neymar likely to return after missing the weekend win over Toulouse through injury.
Liverpool won the corresponding fixture 3-2 at Anfield in September with Firmino coming off the bench to score a late winner.
