Jurgen Klopp is hopeful that Emre Can and Joel Matip will be passed fit for Liverpool’s clash with Bournemouth at Anfield.

Both players were hurt in Saturday’s derby victory over Everton. Klopp says that midfielder Can was left with a “full body bruise” after being on the receiving end of some reckless challenges.

Defender Matip joined Can in the Melwood treatment room due to discomfort in his back with Ragnar Klavan on standby if the former Schalke defender fails to recover.

“Emre has kind of a full body bruise. Everywhere,” Klopp said.

“We left him out on Monday because he had back pain, knee pain. Nothing serious, thank God. Really, he has knocks everywhere. I hope he will be fit.

“Joel had a little bit of a back problem or two. He saw the doc before training so we will see. He should be okay.”

With Sadio Mane joining Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson on the injured list, Klopp can ill afford to lose anyone else as the Reds look to maintain their pursuit of Champions League qualification.

“We don’t think about what we miss, we think about what we can do to win this football game,” he added.

“I can’t remember the last time all the players were available and decisions were really difficult to make. It will be a similar line up, but not exactly the same.

“We have different options. We could bring experience or young boys.”
