– “Again, it looks good, everything is fine, but it was a long, long injury and so we have to be careful,” said Klopp.

– “The plan with Luis is that he will be available 100% for Leeds. We will probably not involve him for Sunday.”

– Midfielder Thiago Alcantara is set to be available against the Premier League leaders this weekend after two months out with a hip injury.

– Defender Virgil van Dijk is also in the squad after missing the midweek goalless draw with Chelsea through illness.

– “Thiago looks slightly different. He was not out that long, trained now three, four times with the team and might be available but we have to check how he feels today,” added Klopp.

– “Virgil, completely normal, was back in training.”
