Roberto Firmino is available for Liverpool as they look to keep their Premier League top-four ambitions alive when they host Aston Villa this weekend.
Liverpool: Team News
After missing the last six games with a muscular problem, Firmino is fit again for Liverpool, though he may be forced to settle for a place on the bench.
Jurgen Klopp also confirmed Darwin Nunez remains sidelined with a toe injury, having missed the victory over Leicester City.
The Uruguay international joins long-term absentees Thiago, Naby Keita, Stefan Bajcetic and Calvin Ramsey in the treatment room.
Klopp said during his pre-match press conference: “Darwin will not be available. It’s an inflammation of a tendon at the toe – very painful, obviously.
“He didn’t train yet this week, so he will not be available for [Saturday].
“The long-term injuries are still out, but all the rest should be available.”
Liverpool: Predicted Lineup
Liverpool Predicted XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Curtis Jones; Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz.
