Xherdan Shaqiri fitness update

Xherdan Shaqiri is aiming to be back in contention swiftly after missing the weekend win over Manchester United due to a minor calf injury.

The Liverpool attacker sat out the 2-0 Premier League victory at Anfield having picked up the knock at Melwood – but is eager to quickly make himself available again.

“It is just slight, I had a little problem in training,” Shaqiri told Liverpoolfc.com on Monday morning. “So I hope I might be back later this week. Let’s see, I cannot say now but it will be good if so.”

The No.23 had been brought on as a substitute in the previous Reds fixture at Tottenham Hotspur for his 10th appearance of the campaign.
