Sakho has been frozen out at Liverpool ever since he was sent home early from the club's USA pre-season tour.
Jurgen Klopp claimed the defender had been disrespectful after he was late for a flight and missed a team dinner and training session.
He is yet to make a single appearance for the Reds this term and has since been training with the Under-23s.

And France boss Deschamps has revealed he has spoken to Sakho in a bid to resolve the situation but has claimed it's "very complicated".
"I talked with Mamadou Sakho to see where abouts he is," Deschamps said.
"It sounds very complicated.
"I do not know if there is another solution for him to go elsewhere because he does not play at Liverpool.
"His situation is very complicated," he added.
"It is up to him to find a solution so that he can express himself on the pitch."

Sakho has struggled to find his way back into the Liverpool side after he was banned for testing positive for a fat burner in the summer.
The charge was later dismissed by UEFA but the former Paris Saint-Germain star lost his place in the France squad for Euro 2016.
He has made 80 appearances for Liverpool since signing from PSG in 2013 for £18million.
