Liverpool trained for their Champions League clash against Genk in the backdrop of Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's allegation that Sadio Mane is a diver.

Mane was booked after failing to win a penalty and then provided an assist before scoring the winner in a last-gasp 2-1 victory at Aston Villa on Saturday. Guardiola said: "Sometimes he's [Mane] diving, sometimes he has this talent to score incredible goals in the last minute."

Manager Jurgen Klopp, preparing for their Champions League clash against Genk on Tuesday, dismissed Guardiola's remarks, saying: "I am not 100 percent sure if he spoke about Sadio or us in general.

"I didn't hear Sadio's name or know how we could have known so quick about any incident in the game. I can say Sadio is not a diver. There was a situation in the Aston Villa game where he got contact and went down. Maybe it was not a penalty but there was contact, it's not as if he jumped over a leg and went down."
