Jordan Henderson is in contention for Liverpool's trip to Watford on Saturday.
The midfielder missed out on England’s thrilling Uefa Nations League win over Croatia on Sunday having suffered a slight recurrence of a recent hamstring problem.
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate opted against taking a risk with Henderson's fitness and said of his decision: “Jordan has been carrying a bit of an injury.
“He had some game time the other night but wasn’t fully happy with it.
“He’s somebody who always wants to play and in the end I had to take a decision. In these games you’ve got to be clear in your mind and perfectly happy."
Henderson failed to earn a start in Liverpool’s last five fixtures due to hamstring issues, and Jurgen Klopp may have feared another stint without his captain.
However, the 28-year-old has responded positively to treatment this week and is expected to be available for this weekend’s trip to Vicarage Road.
Henderson’s availability comes as a huge boost to the Reds ahead of a crucial run of fixtures in both the Premier League and Champions League.
After taking on Watford, Klopp’s men head out to France for a showdown with Paris Saint-Germain that could prove crucial to their hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
And that heavyweight clash is quickly followed by a Merseyside derby meeting with Everton at Anfield.
