Mamadou Sakho has been sent home early from Liverpool's preseason tour of the USA, as he continues to recover from an Achilles injury

The Reds defender hasn't been able to play in any of the club's friendlies due to the problem, which will mean he is due to miss the start of the season.

It's been reported that the reason for the decision is over a disciplinary - but the club have only said that Sakho is continuing his rehabilitation back at the club's Melwood training ground.

Earlier this month a doping case against the Frenchman was dropped by UEFA.

The ban meant his missed out on a place in the Europa League Final and Euro 2016.
