Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Harvey Elliott will be in the Liverpool squad to face Cardiff City on Sunday, but the game could come too soon for Thiago Alcantara following a fresh bout of illness.
Elliott returned to team training last month having been sidelined since September with a dislocated ankle, with the Reds boss admitting he had been tempted to include him against Arsenal and Shrewsbury Town after the teenager wowed coaches when making his comeback.
Instead holding the playmaker back, the former Fulham man instead made an uncompetitive return in a behind-closed-doors friendly with Wrexham during the international break as he scored one goal and claimed an assist.
