Liverpool will be without Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for the Boxing Day clash with Leicester City but Jürgen Klopp expects his fit players to be fully recovered from their FIFA Club World Cup exploits.
Oxlade-Chamberlain was forced off 75 minutes into the final victory over Flamengo last Saturday with an ankle injury that will rule him out for at least the remainder of 2019.
More positively, the manager reported no other new injury concerns ahead of the trip to the team nearest to his side in the Premier League table.
And the boss believes Liverpool’s experience of international football in recent years has allowed the squad to recover in the best way possible from their week-long stay in Qatar.
