Sadio Mane has been caught showing Liverpool fans what they're missing on the field, after the forward was videoed scoring a wonderful goal during his return to full training. 

The winder suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty with Senegal a number of weeks ago, with fears he would be out for six to eight weeks. 

However, after working hard during his rehabilitation, the 25-year-old has returned to full training early, although he is unlikely to feature against West Ham at the weekend. 

Mane picked the ball up from Marko Grujic and fired a back-heeled effort past Simon Mignolet, leaving the goalkeeper laughing at his brilliance.

The Reds have missed Mane's pace and presence up front, as well as his partnership with Mohamed Salah, which was developing nicely during the early stages of the season. 

The 25-year-old will be hoping for a consistent run in the team now, as a red card and injuries have kept him out for large periods of this campaign.

Daniel Sturridge has come in in place for Mane, scoring twice in two games. The striker missed out on a place in the England squad for their friendlies against Brazil and Germany, although he doesn't seem phased as he is seen scoring a fine goal from a tight angle in the same video.
