Jürgen Klopp must decide whether to include Thiago Alcantara and Jordan Henderson in Liverpool's matchday squad against Burnley.
The midfield duo, who began pre-season later than most of the Reds’ squad following their exertions at Euro 2020, were absent as Klopp’s team got their Premier League campaign under way with a 3-0 win at Norwich City.
However, both played in a behind-closed-doors friendly last Sunday and are potentially available to face the Clarets at Anfield.
“They are much closer, yes. They look fine, now we have to make the decision,” Klopp said.
