Sadio Mane picked up a hamstring injury in the Midlands and is expected to miss a couple of weeks, with a top flight game against West Ham coming up on Wednesday.

New signing Takumi Minamino replaced him versus Wolves and is expected to line up for the Reds against Shrewsbury, as well as Divock Origi and many of the youngsters who beat Everton’s senior team in the last round.
