“Fab has now five or six sessions in his legs. We have to make a decision how we deal with that, but it looks good. He is ready for the squad for sure.”

Concerning Jota, Klopp said: “And Diogo had a little stomach problem. He trained yesterday, only for a little bit.

“We got the message this morning that he feels better again, so we will see what we can do with that.
