Dejan Lovren is expected to return to Liverpool’s starting line-up against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Friday night.

But while Emre Can is no longer injured he is likely to miss out with Jurgen Klopp feeling he needs more training.

The Liverpool boss updated the injury situation in his pre-match press conference at Melwood on Wednesday.

And he reported no new injury problems arising out of the Leicester game last Saturday.

Klopp said: “The players involved in the last game are until now all ready again plus Dejan (Lovren). Not the others, for example Emre. Emre’s not injured anymore, that’s good, but he needs to train, that’s how it is.

“He had a difficult pre-season with coming in later than most of the other players (due to Euro 2016). Then he had a bit of an injury, it’s not the best moment until now. He’s still a wonderful player but we have to make him fit.

“That’s what we do with him, that’s what we do with Mama (Sakho).

“Loris (Karius) is training a week now so all good.”

Lovren missed Leicester with a head injury sustained in training and arrived at Anfield sporting an impressive black eye. Lucas Leiva took his place, having a solid game but gifting the visitors’ a goal with an error in front of the Kop.

Emre Can has started just one game for Liverpool this season, in the EFL Cup at Burton Albion, as well as a 20-minute substitute appearance at the Emirates against Arsenal. Karius made his return to the bench against Leicester but Simon Mignolet is likely to retain his place in goal at Stamford Bridge.
