Pundit Ally McCoist has stated he believes Jurgen Klopp's side will get over the loss of Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich "pretty quickly".
Speaking to TalkSPORT, following Liverpool’s 3-1 Community Shield win over Manchester City last weekend, McCoist said:
“I think the one thing from the weekend that we did learn is that Liverpool look as though they’re going to get over the loss of Mane to Bayern Munich pretty quickly, because the striker they’ve brought in looks the real deal."

“So they’ve sent a message to say we ain’t going away, that’s for sure.”
The Reds dismantled Pep Guardiola’s side, who are the bookies’ favourites for the Premier League title.

The new striker McCoist is referring to is of course Darwin Nunez, who Liverpool brought in from Benfica for a fee of up to £85m this summer.
The Uruguayan scored 26 goals in 28 Premeira Liga games last season, and he bagged six goals in Europe.
Reds fans will be hoping to see their new talisman in action tomorrow when Liverpool take on Fulham in their first game of the new season.
