Jurgen Klopp offers positive fitness updates on two Liverpool stars 🏃♂️
The Liverpool boss says he has decisions to make ahead of the Reds' Premier League clash with Burnley this weekend.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has offered an update on the fitness of Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara - and it’s good news.
It does sound like the duo will be available for selection this weekend, as the Reds take on Burnley.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, Klopp said both Henderson and Thiago are “fine” and confirmed the duo took part in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Anfield last weekend.
“They are much closer,” said the boss, when asked if whether the midfielders are in line to feature against Burnley.
“They look really good in the game and in training, so it’s up to me to make some decisions.”
Henderson and Thiago were involved in a not-so-secret friendly against Aston Villa last weekend, which Liverpool won 4-1.
Curtis Jones, Kaide Gordon, Neco Williams and Divock Origi found themselves on the score-sheet in the plush victory.
Liverpool kick-off against Burnley at Anfield on Saturday afternoon at 12.30pm (BST).
