Liverpool boss has provided fitness updates on three of his players ahead of their weekend game against Arsenal. The Reds will welcome Mikel Arteta side to the Anfield stadium on Saturday evening.
It's been gathered that Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson are set to face late fitness test ahead of Saturday’s clash with Arsenal, while Sadio Mane is fit and available.
If you recall that Henderson and Robertson were injured during their international duty for their countries. Mane who returned to training suffered a rib complaint on Senegal duty as well.
“Robbo was lucky, we can probably say. It was a little bit DOMS, the intensity of all the games he played probably, rather than anything else,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com on Thursday.
“He was smart enough to [make] the right decision, he went off early, which he usually is not doing. But in this case it was absolutely right, and so there’s a good chance that he can be involved at the weekend.
“Hendo, a little bit more [injured] than Robbo but a chance for the weekend. So we are working on that. It’s not a serious injury but in this short period of time we have to see if he is ready for Saturday. But after that, 100 per cent, and possibly for Arsenal as well.
“We took him out a little bit earlier here and there when we knew now it will be full contact, stuff like this, just to give it a bit more time to settle. But he looks fine.”
Jurgen Klopp has also revealed that trio of Roberto Firmino, Joe Gomez, Naby Keita and James Milner are unavailable for the home game against Arsenal.
