Jurgen Klopp could barely bring himself to talk about it.
"It never happened that they were all fit," said the Liverpool boss after he was asked in the wake of Sunday's FA Cup triumph over Cardiff City to assess his plethora of squad options. "It’s now the first time maybe.
“I hate to talk about these things because the next day I get a message saying something is not right but if they are all fit then we have a good squad."
Given the litany of injuries that have affected his playing personnel during the past few years, having close to a full-strength squad has been luxury enough for the Liverpool boss.

But with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane having negotiated the Africa Cup of Nations without any obvious fitness concerns, Klopp may now find himself in an unusual position regards selection for Thursday's Premier League visit of Leicester City.
Every senior squad member is set to be available.
Of course, much will depend on the condition of Salah and Mane after their gruelling tournament in Cameroon. Divock Origi is also only just coming back from injury, and new £49million signing Luis Diaz took a heavy knock to his knee on debut at the weekend.
And Klopp is too long in the game to not believe it won't be long before the treatment room starts to become occupied once again.
Liverpool, though, are arguably in as healthy position as they have ever been regards strength in depth.
With the Reds still challenging on four fronts - they are less than a fortnight away from entering unchartered territory in that regard - rotation will play a key factor in keeping Klopp's men both fresh and competitive.
Recent results - particularly without Mane and Salah - have demonstrated Liverpool perhaps have greater options than even the Reds boss himself has realised.
One of the several reasons for Manchester City's dominance of the English game in recent years has been their ability to chop and change without a dramatic decrease in quality.
But while nobody in the Premier League can compete with the riches City have used to bolster both their first team and, in a more long-term approach, their Academy set-up, Liverpool have been constructing a squad in their own way.
Sure, there will undoubtedly be question marks over certain positions. Every squad can be improved, and natural wastage along with the desire to improve means Klopp and his recruitment team are anticipating a busy summer, with pushing through a deal for Fulham youngster Fabio Carvalho a priority.
That, though, is for the future. And at present Klopp has sufficient options to select two different starting XIs.
As ever with such matters, they are entirely subjective and, with no specific opposition in mind, difficult to properly ascertain given the Reds boss often employs a 'horses for courses' approach, particularly in midfield.
However, based on the team selection of this season, most of the first XI effectively picks itself.
Alisson Becker is the goalkeeper, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson at right-back and left-back respectively.
Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip have emerged as the preferred centre-back pairing.
The engine room is slightly more tricky, although Fabinho is the defensive midfielder and has yet to lose a game in which he has started alongside Thiago Alcantara in midfield. As skipper, Jordan Henderson would also expect to start.
Up front, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane still run their respective wings, but the goals of Diogo Jota have replaced Roberto Firmino down the middle.
Matters become more interesting in the second XI.
Caoimhin Kelleher has edged ahead of Adrian in goal while, with Neco Williams on loan at Fulham, Conor Bradley is the deputy right-back.
The remainder of the defence is strong, with Ibrahima Konate partnering Joe Gomez and the increasingly-impressive Kostas Tsimikas at left-back.
Midfield has some difficult calls. James Milner is ostensibly the holding midfielder, joined by Naby Keita and Curtis Jones.
And the attack sees Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right, Roberto Firmino central and new £49million signing Luis Diaz on the left.
The more observant will note some significant names have been overlooked, not least Harvey Elliott following his triumphant return from injury at the weekend.
The 18-year-old, though, has made just 14 appearances for Liverpool, only six of which have been in the Premier League.
Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino have also not been included despite scoring 12 goals between them this season, and title-winning goalkeeper Adrian is also not in either side.
Youngsters Rhys Williams, Billy Koumetio, Tyler Morton and Kaide Gordon, who have all started games in the last 12 months, could form a large chunk of any third XI.
The composition of the teams will undoubtedly engender plentiful debate. Beyond doubt, though, is Klopp and Liverpool are in the perfect position to attack the remaining months of the season.
