Jurgen Klopp says Roberto Firmino is in contention to return for Liverpool against Newcastle on Thursday with Curtis Jones also close to a comeback.
Klopp also says Joe Gomez will not leaving on loan in January, adding: “I don’t have any plans to give anyone on loan in the winter.”
Firmino has missed Liverpool’s last eight matches after suffering a serious hamstring injury in the 2-0 Champions League group win against Atletico Madrid at the beginning of last month.
Klopp also says Curtis Jones is also closing in on a return after sustaining an eye injury, as Liverpool prepare to play five matches in a 13-day period.
“Bobby trained completely normally yesterday so I would say he is in contention,” Klopp told reporters ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Newcastle.
“Curtis had his first session, a partial session with the team so he is not far off.
“But, timing-wise, it couldn’t be better to be honest. It’s a busy period we need a full squad and getting two players back of this calibre is obviously good news.” (Sky Sports)
