Team News: Sadio Mane returns to Liverpool XI against Roma

Sadio Mane returns to Liverpool XI

Sadio Mane has recovered from injury to start for Liverpool in the second leg of the club's Champions League semi-final tie with Roma.

The winger was forced to sit out Saturday's goalless draw with Stoke City, but the Senegalese international is available to feature in Wednesday night's crucial clash in Italy.

Manager Jurgen Klopp is also able to recall a number of other players who sat out the Premier League encounter with the Potters, but Adam Lallana is not involved despite travelling with the squad.

As expected, Roma are without both Kevin Strootman and Diego Perotti for the visit of the English side, who hold a 5-2 advantage after the first leg at Anfield.

Manager Eusebio Di Francesco has made several changes, most notably in attack with Stephan El Shaarawy and Patrik Schick being introduced into the team.

Lorenzo Pellegrini - who has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League - has been brought into the midfield.

Roma: Alisson; Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov; Pellegrini, De Rossi, Nainggolan; Schick, El Shaarawy, Dzeko Subs: Skorupski, Jesus, Under, Gonalons, Peres, Gerson, Antonucci

Liverpool: Karius; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Lovren, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Milner, Henderson; Mane, Salah, Firmino Subs: Mignolet, Clyne, Klavan, Moreno, Ings, Solanke, Woodburn
