oh please. Coutinho missed a single league game in January (vs Sunderland) and a cup game against Plymouth, but he played in every single other game. He might not have been back to his best at the time and couldn't go the whole 90, but he still played. Mane also only missed two league games (vs United and Swansea).
The "Liverpool had a horrible January because they missed Coutinho and Mane" is a complete fairytale. Liverpool had a horrible January because Klopp still hasn't figured out how to beat "minnows" on a regular basis and completely underestimated the lower league cup teams.
