Liverpool handed major boost ahead of Manchester City clash on Thursday with the returns of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson and Fabinho to training... though Virgil van Dijk will not be involved

Jurgen Klopp has been handed a boost with the returns of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson and Fabinho to training.

The trio, who were all eliminated from the World Cup at the quarter-final stage, are in contention for the club for their Carabao Cup visit to Manchester City later this week.

It comes after Klopp had said on Friday that they all could be involved - though Virgil van Dijk will remain absent for the League Cup tie as Liverpool monitor his fitness ahead of the Premier League's return.

Jurgen Klopp gave the entire squad a talk before they underwent training together for the first time with - almost - the full squad

'Yeah, there’s a chance, of course – they train already,' the 55-year-old had said.
