Sadio Mane says Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a source of inspiration for him in Liverpool's pursuit of the Premier League title
The Senegal international, who has scored 10 goals so far this season, is determined to keep delivering for those players who are currently unable to contribute on the field
Oxlade-Chamberlain has been sidelined since suffering a serious knee injury against Roma in the Champions League last April
However, the England midfielder is ahead of schedule with his rehab programme and could return to full training over the coming month
"I have been injured and I know how hard it is," Mane told Liverpoolfc.com "I try to talk to him and check how he is because it's not easy, especially for Alex
His dream is to stay fit and play for the club, win games and win trophies as well
If it's not the case, it's difficult. "Sometimes on the pitch you want to give everything to make (the injured players) proud because it's not easy for them and their family
Injuries are something I never wish on any football player." Liverpool will return to action against Leicester City at Anfield on Wednesday night after an 11-day break
Mane believes last week's training camp in Dubai brought the players even closer together
"It was really cool," he added. "It was not the best weather ever but compared to Liverpool it was much, much better! "Of course we would love to play in the FA Cup but if not, it's part of football and you have to accept it
"Here you don't have time to go out together. This kind of trip helps us to talk about different things, not only football
This kind of period always makes everybody closer, making more of an affinity. It's important for the team
