Liverpool include Mamadou Sakho in Premier League squad

Mamadou Sakho has been included in Liverpool's Premier League squad after rejecting a move away from Anfield.

The France international was advised by manager Jurgen Klopp to move to another club on loan for the sake of his Liverpool and international career.However, Sakho, who was sent home early from the club's pre-season tour of the United States and turned down a move to Stoke, has been named in Liverpool's 25-man squad.

Fellow defender Tiago Ilori is also on the list after Liverpool were unable to find a buyer for the 23-year-old in the summer transfer window.Ilori has made just three appearances in the FA Cup for Liverpool since joining from Sporting Lisbon three years ago and has been sent out on loan to Granada, Bordeaux and Aston Villa.

Striker Danny Ings, who has been restricted to six appearances since his arrival from Burnley in June 2015 due to injury problems, also made the cut.
