The last few months have been nothing short of a roller coaster ride for Liverpool’s #3, Mamadou Sakho.
Being accused (falsely) for taking an illegal substance, subsequently missing out on very important matches for Liverpool, to being acquitted of those charges a a few months later. Then he picked up an injury, got sent home...
