The Liverpool defender recently complained about being out of the first team picture in a 3am rant.

Speaking to SFR Sport, French legends Christophe Dugarry and Emmanuel Petit have criticised Mamadou Sakho for his recent behaviour at Liverpool.
The French defender has found himself out of the first-team picture at the club so far this season after being sent home from their pre-season tour of America.
It is a situation he is far from happy about, recently taking to social media network Snapchat to tell fans they had been lied to.

That move appears to have angered his manager, who told Sky Sports “it is not positive I would say. I will address the situation when I think it’s the right moment” when asked about it.
The German is not the only impressed either, with former France star Dugarry hitting out at Sakho.
“He doesn’t need to talk to his fans, he needs to talk to his coach,” he told SFR Sport.
“What is he doing talking to his fans at three in the morning? With emojis and all that? We don’t give a s***. We’re not at the circus. If you have a problem, go talk to your coach, find a solution, solve the problem.”

Petit, meanwhile, believes that the outburst could prove fatal to the defender’s career at Anfield.
“It’s a shame. I think it’s another outburst from him, and it could be fatal,” he added.
It remains to be seen if Sakho does have a future at Liverpool but at this moment it is looking unlikely that he does.
Klopp appears to have settled on Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren as his centre back pairing, and he also has Ragnar Klavan, Lucas Leiva and the returning Joe Gomez for the position.
That makes Sakho surplus to requirements and an exit seems like more likely than a return to the first team.
