Liverpool receive major double injury boost ahead of Leicester City clash

Fabinho returned to light training in Dubai after being forced off against Crystal Palace at the weekend with a hamstring issue and Georgino Wijnaldum will be fit to face Leicester City, according to the Mirror.

Liverpool will resume their impressive Premier League title charge next week when the Foxes visit Anfield on Wednesday but will be boosted by the return of two key midfielders in Fabinho and Wijnaldum.

The former was suffering with a hamstring issue caused by cramp and had to be withdrawn against Palace towards the end of the game while Wijnaldum missed the seven-goal thriller but will be fit to face Claude Puel’s side at Anfield next week.

Liverpool will be playing under a measure of added pressure when they face Leicester as Manchester City’s clash against Newcastle United takes place 24 hours earlier giving the champions the chance to close the gap to one point until the Reds play.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have dealt well with all kinds of obstacles this season and have lost just once in the league; a bitter 2-1 defeat to Pep Guardiola’s side at the Etihad but with a four-point gap still separating the two teams, Liverpool fans are confident ahead of the title run in.

Having Fabinho and Wijnaldum fit to face the Foxes could be a major boost for Liverpool. Gini’s measured approach to the game was missed against Palace as the Reds conceded three goals for the first time all season.
