Jurgen Klopp confirms TRIPLE injury boost ahead of Liverpool vs. Inte
Jurgen Klopp has provided a welcome update on the availability of Roberto Firmino, Joel Matip and Thiago, with the latter duo likely to be in the squad vs. Inter at the very least.
Liverpool had three enforced absences against West Ham, with Firmino, Matip and Thiago all ruled out due to injury or illness.
The Brazilian was expected to return to team training on Sunday while the visit of Inter had been signposted as a potential return date for Thiago, both of which could be ticked off.
With another vital 90 minutes ahead on Tuesday night, Klopp offered an update on the trio and their progress on the eve of the Champions League fixture and it’s a welcome one.
“I think all trained yesterday [Sunday], full,” Klopp told reporters. So not sure yet what we make of that exactly, to be honest, as we have to see how they react.
“Thiago only a week out, probably fine but have to wait, Joel only three, four days so will be fine.

Naby shouldn't play - need to give a rest else we'll break him. And can't rush Thiago back either. My guess is that Jones may get a start on that left side.
In all scenarios, hopefully we can just kill the game in the first half and then start taking players off early.
Diaz instead of Jota, agree with rest
Going to be really, really tough tonight. I think 2-0 at their shop totally flattered us, tbh. And apart from a shambolic Leeds, I think our form has been iffy at best. This tie is not over - I think we'll be hanging on for dear life at 1-2 with five minutes to go.![]()
Yeah I have my concerns, not as easy as some think.Going to be really, really tough tonight. I think 2-0 at their shop totally flattered us, tbh.

Ideally yes but I think they're decent and it won't go that way.Ideally we can get a couple of early goals and kill the game, then take the foot off the pedal and take players off on 60.
I agree they won't come at us they'll want to slow the game and get goals at the right time.My only concern is we try to be too conservative from the start instead of playing our natural game and then closing up shop .
