LONDON (Reuters) - Mamadou Sakho did not as originally feared sustain ligament damage on Wednesday and should be fit within weeks, Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said, rekindling transfer speculation over a player valued at 30 million pounds.

There were concerns about the French centre-back, who is on loan at Crystal Palace, after he injured his knee and left the pitch on a stretcher during the South London club's 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
