There was no sign of either Dejan Lovren or Adam Lallana as Liverpool trained at Melwood ahead of Saturday’s crunch Premier League clash with Tottenham.

Croatian defender Lovren missed last weekend’s defeat to Hull City with a swollen knee - but the Reds are hopeful he will be able to return to full training on Friday.

Fellow centre-back Ragnar Klavan worked away from the main group with the rehab staff after the illness which forced him to sit out the trip to the KCOM Stadium.

If Lovren misses out again then Lucas Leiva, Klavan and Joe Gomez will be competing for the right to start alongside Joel Matip on Saturday.

Lallana, meanwhile, was left out of training on Thursday as a precaution due to a tight muscle, but the Reds hope he will respond well to treatment and take his place in the side this weekend.

Should Lallana be sidelined, Daniel Sturridge could be handed a rare league start - against the side he scored twice against in the EFL Cup earlier this season.

The England striker hasn’t started in the Premier League since the draw at Sunderland on January 2, when he scored.

The likes of Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi were also present at Thursday's session, along with youngsters Ben Woodburn, Harry Wilson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
