Jurgen Klopp is ready to welcome back Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold for the restart of the Premier League season – but Liverpool are sweating on the fitness of James Milner.
Both Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold were absent as the Reds’ reign as Carabao Cup holders ended with a 3-2 fourth round defeat at Manchester City on Thursday evening.
Van Dijk was back training on Wednesday after returning from World Cup duty with Holland while Alexander-Arnold has been among a number of Liverpool players affected by illness.
