Virgil van Dijk returned to training on Monday to put himself back in contention for Liverpool’s meeting with Leicester City on Wednesday.
The Dutchman missed a number of sessions having taken ill following the Reds’ return from a warm-weather training camp in Dubai last week.
However, he joined his teammates in a session at the club’s Melwood base yesterday and is likely to be passed fit to face the Foxes.
Speaking at a press conference to preview the game, Jurgen Klopp said: “Virgil was a little bit ill but he trained yesterday so we will see. He will train today and we will see.”
Klopp’s squad options have received a further boost after Dejan Lovren returned to full training during Liverpool’s stint in the Middle East, while Georginio Wijnaldum (knee) is also back at full speed.
But Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) and Joe Gomez (leg) will be unable to feature against Claude Puel’s men as they continue their respective recoveries.
Meanwhile, the Reds’ medical staff must observe Fabinho’s reaction to resuming training today before deciding if the Brazilian can play a part after a hamstring issue.
The potential absence of the aforementioned trio and James Milner’s suspension resulting from his red card against Crystal Palace means Klopp faces something of a selection headache at right-back.
But when asked about the possibility of using 18-year-old Rafael Camacho there, the boss remained coy.
He added: “You have to wait until tomorrow! We will play with a right-back, or a wing-back. Wow! Oooh!
“I cannot answer. I have no clue what we are doing, to be honest!”
Probable XI: Alisson, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
