Coutinho set for Liverpool return in EFL Cup semi-final

Philippe Coutinho is set to return to Liverpool's squad for the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final against Southampton.

Liverpool travel to St Mary's Stadium on Wednesday and should be able to call upon the attacking midfielder for the first time since November 26, when he suffered an ankle injury in the home Premier League win over Sunderland.

Manager Jurgen Klopp made 10 changes for the 0-0 FA Cup third-round draw at home to Plymouth Argyle on Sunday – fielding the youngest team in the club's history.

But he insists it will be a full strength team against the Saints, with his side only one tie from Wembley.
