Liverpool handed major fitness boost ahead of Chelsea clash with key player available after he 'felt something' in Champions League loss at Galatasaray

Liverpool may have a growing list of injury concerns, but Arne Slot's worries have been eased with the news that one of his key players is available for action.

The Reds travel to Chelsea on Saturday evening looking to avoid a third-straight defeat after losing at Crystal Palace and Galatasaray in recent days.

The Champions League loss in Turkey was made worse with goalkeeper Alisson and striker Hugo Ekitike both going off injured, while Federico Chiesa missed the match due to a 'niggle'.

However, there is good news for Slot with Ekitike's injury not as bad as feared - with him now able to play Chelsea.
