Jurgen Klopp Provides Fitness Update on Key Liverpool Duo After 5-0 Huddersfield Thrashing

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has provided a positive update regarding the fitness of key duo Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk following their emphatic 5-0 win over Huddersfield.

A Naby Keita goal inside the opening 15 seconds and braces for Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah sealed the victory for the Reds at Anfield, as they leapfrogged Manchester City back to the top of the Premier League.

One notable absentee for Klopp's side was Firmino, who missed the game on Friday due to 'a little muscle issue' in the words of his manager, meaning he wasn't risked ahead of the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.
