Liverpool travel to Leeds United on Sunday with several multi-choice questions for Jurgen Klopp to consider.
Roberto Firmino is on sideline due to the hamstring injury sustained prior to the international break against Chelsea, but his Brazil internationals are on hold Alisson Becker and Fabinho are now eligible to play on Elland Road as they failed to represent their country in recent games.
FIFA has confirmed their availability in a statement on Saturday morningafter the Brazilian Football Association’s complaint was withdrawn.
Takumi Minamino is unlikely to be involved against Leeds after taking a blow with Japan, however James Milner has returned to training and could race again to face his youth club.
“We have to see,” said Klopp on Thursday about Milner’s chances. “We’ll see what he can do today. But he will definitely come closer. “
Virgil van DijkHe, who limped briefly after the Netherlands game on Tuesday, is fully fit, the boss confirmed Harvey Elliott is available and Naby Keita is ‘here and there’ after safely returning from Guinea.
“All the other players who have returned from the national team are also doing well,” added Klopp during his pre-game press conference.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa reported that meanwhile Stuart Dallas, Junior Firpo and Mateusz Klich are all available for kick-off at 4:30 p.m. BST.
New registration Daniel James, who joined the club on the day the transfer closed, is also in the running for his debut against Liverpool.
“He will be available this weekend,” said Bielsa. “He’s a player who can play on both sides, which combines his ability to throw his opponent off balance.
“It has been two years since I first came into contact with his game, and he has retained these qualities in a higher level of competition.”
Robin Koch however, is excluded.
