Dejan Lovren says the Qatar World Cup would be a better tournament if both of his former Liverpool teammates Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were playing in it.
Mane's Senegal knocked Salah's Egypt out of African qualifying to earn their place at the finals, but their talisman - who left the Reds for Bayern Munich this summer - s uffered a heartbreaking injury in the days leading up to the tournament.
The forward's absence has been keenly felt by Senegal, who went down 2-0 to the Netherlands in their opening game of the tournament on Monday.
