“He was out there in the running yesterday but we have to see how he reacts. I will see him in a few minutes for the first time since yesterday,” said Jürgen Klopp at his pre-match press conference.

“He is very positive, that’s Bobby’s nature. We have to see. I don’t see any other player – OK, we have maybe two or three more of them – being even in contention for that game after the little problem he had.

“It looks really good but if he will be ready for Sunday, I don’t know in this second.”
