Liverpool centre back Joel Matip is back in full training to give Jurgen Klopp a much-needed boost ahead of Burnley clash... but Diogo Jota is 'still a few weeks away' from comeback

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Joel Matip has returned to full training and is contention to play against Burnley on Thursday.

The defender has missed Liverpool's last three games with an adductor injury he picked up against West Brom in December.

The Reds have failed to win since Matip was sidelined with draws against Newcastle and Manchester United and a 1-0 defeat at Southampton.
