James Milner will return to the Liverpool squad for Thursday night’s Europa League clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Reds vice-captain has recovered from the virus which forced him to miss last week’s first leg of the last 16 tie.

Milner turned up for training last Wednesday but was sent home after complaining of feeling unwell.

The former Manchester City midfielder has been back in training at Melwood this week and will be hoping to earn a recall to face United.

His availability gives Jurgen Klopp a selection dilemma as Liverpool prepare to lock horns with Louis van Gaal’s men once again.

The attacking trio of Adam Lallana, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho all performed well in the first leg and so Milner may have to settle for a place on the bench at Old Trafford.
