Dejan Lovren injury boost as Joe Gomez set for return to full training

Croatia international Lovren limped off in the closing stages of the Reds' 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Anfield last Saturday.

However, Liverpool have played down concerns that the centre-back could be facing a spell on the sidelines. The initial prognosis is that it was only muscle tightness in his leg.

That will be a major boost for Jurgen Klopp ahead of next Tuesday's first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Roma at Anfield.

Lovren has formed a solid defensive double act with Virgil van Dijk and has been enjoying the best spell of his Liverpool career.
