Managers provide fitness updates on James Milner and Kevin De Bruyne

Jurgen Klopp revealed today in his pre-match press conference that vice-captain James Milner could return to the Liverpool squad for tomorrow night’s match with Manchester City.

Milner missed the Reds’ last two matches against Newcastle and Arsenal because of a mior hamstring complaint, but has now returned to training.

“He was back in training with us yesterday for the first time, so we will see,” said Klopp, according to LiverpoolFC.com.

Elsewhere, City manager Pep Guardiola provided an update on the fitness of Kevin De Bruyne, who has on the sidelines since early November and only recently returned to contention again.

“He trained today but tomorrow we need another check in the morning,” said Guardiola, as quoted by Metro. “He’s much better.”

Reds fans will be buoyed with the news that Milner could be available tomorrow night, but will hope the influential De Bruyne’s participation in the game is limited.
