Pep Lijnders said on Tuesday: “Trent trained yesterday with us but it was just in the rondo and the ball possession with the counter-pressing, but he was outstanding. You see him instantly, of course. He is with the team training, I am not sure if he will be ready, we will see today.
On Thiago, the assistant coach said: “He is in a good way, the healing process is going well so that’s the most important [thing] at this moment.”
Klopp has named a team similar to the one he fielded against LASK in the Europa League with the likes of Stefan Bajcetic, Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah and Ben Doak all starting.
Summer signings Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo get another opportunity from the off with Premier League minutes currently restricted.
