Jurgen Klopp is hopeful Luis Diaz will be in contention for his long-awaited Liverpool comeback for the showdown at Manchester City next month.
And the Reds boss believes Joe Gomez will also be back in action after the forthcoming international break as the lengthy injury list starts to clear.
Diaz has been absent since initially suffering a knee at Arsenal in October that was further aggravated in December and subsequently required an operation.
