Sadio Mane has shrugged off concerns Liverpool could suffer from fatigue over the next few months.

The Reds will play 43 fixtures from late-November until early January.

But Mane insists "tiredness is all in the head".

"I think it is here," Mane told Goal. "Honestly, I think it is all in the head. The tiredness is in the head, so as long as the body recovers well I think it is not difficult for us to play every single game.

"If the team needs us, and the coach needs us, I think we will be able to play and help the team.

"When they need me I will be ready for the team to give everything. The coach has to decide who will play, but I am here to work every single day, and to be ready to go again every single day."

Asked if they could handle the pressure, Mane said: "Yeah sure, we are Liverpool!

"We have a big squad, we have many players who can play and so much quality. It's part of football - we have to deal with it, play these games if we want to be successful. Without the games you can not win the trophies.

"We have to be focussed on it as hard as we can and try to recover as well as possible from each game. Yeah, it will be tough, we know - we know Salzburg will be a tough game now, but yeah, we are ready."
