Liverpool had earlier been boosted with the news that defender Joel Matip is back in full training after two months out.

The Reds have had to negotiate the last one month with just two fit centre backs namely Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez.

The return of another centre back in Joel Matip is a welcome development for Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp, while another centre back Dejan Lovren is not far behind in his quest to return to full training.

The return to full fitness for both Joel Matip and Xerdan Shaqiri has offset the loss of James Milner to injury in what was the only casualty from the FA Cup third round win over Merseyside rivals Everton last weekend.
