Team news has been the order of the day as Liverpool and Tottenham prepare to face each other this Sunday.
Who can play at the weekend?
Jurgen Klopp updated us on who is fit and available to play against Tottenham in Sunday’s Premier League clash at Anfield.
Having missed the Reds’ trip to West Ham with injury, Klopp said Ibrahima Konate “will be back.”
Unfortunately, Diogo Jota “got a knock in his back” on Wednesday “but should be alright” for Sunday, said the manager.
Klopp also had updates on Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, whom he said were both back in training.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will be without their goalkeeper and captain, Hugo Lloris.
Spurs’ interim manager, Ryan Mason, confirmed the Frenchman “won’t be available” after going off at half time in Tottenham‘s 6-1 defeat against Newcastle last Sunday.
The visitors will also be without Yves Bissouma (ankle), Rodrigo Bentancur (knee), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) and Emerson Royal (knee).
