Christian Benteke looks set to miss Jurgen Klopp’s first game as Liverpool manager at Tottenham on Saturday.

The £32.5million striker has yet to resume training following the hamstring injury which has kept him sidelined for the Reds’ past four matches.

Benteke was forced off against Norwich City at Anfield on September 20 and has been undergoing treatment at Melwood since.

The former Aston Villa frontman, who missed Belgium’s final two Euro 2016 qualifiers against Andorra and Israel, is running out of time to prove his fitness for the trip to White Hart Lane.

However, Roberto Firmino is making progress following the back injury he suffered after falling awkwardly during the Reds’ Capital One Cup tie against Carlisle United three weeks ago.

The £29million summer signing has been working away from the main group at Melwood and is close to being given the green light to resume full training. No decision has been taken yet on whether he will feature against Spurs.

Captain Jordan Henderson and Jon Flanagan remain out but Klopp will be bolstered by the return of a number of players from international duty when his squad reconvene at Melwood on Wednesday afternoon.

Simon Mignolet, Joe Allen, Divock Origi, Jordon Ibe, Martin Skrtel and Joe Gomez will all report back.

Gomez limped out of England Under-21s’ victory over Kazakhstan at Coventry on Tuesday night and will have further assessments at Melwood.

Wednesday will be the first time Klopp has been able to get his full squad together since his appointment as Brendan Rodgers’ successor last week.

Kolo Toure, Dejan Lovren, James Milner, Philippe Coutinho, Daniel Sturridge, Mamadou Sakho, Alberto Moreno, Lucas Leiva and Joao Carlos Teixeira were all present for his first session on Monday, with England trio Nathaniel Clyne, Danny Ings and Adam Lallana, along with Emre Can and Adam Bogdan, returning 24 hours later.
