Alberto Moreno’s hopes of making his Liverpool comeback against West Brom in the FA Cup on Saturday could be dashed by ongoing discomfort in his ankle.

The Spanish left-back returned to full training a fortnight ago and travelled with the squad for Monday’s shock defeat to Swansea City.

However, seven weeks after he was forced off against Spartak Moscow in the Champions League, Moreno still isn’t pain free and Jurgen Klopp won’t take any chances with him.

Asked about the prospect of featuring against the Baggies, Moreno told Liverpoolfc.com: “I honestly don’t know. It’ll be the manager who decides exactly when I come back but what I do want to make sure of is that I’m fully 100% when I do make my comeback.

“You don’t want to not live up to what you can do when you’re fully fit so it’s a case of getting that match fitness at 100% so as not to let people down.

“The good news is that it’s getting better each day. The thing about your ankle is that it’s a part of your body you’re always putting your full weight on - that makes it a little bit more complicated.

“I can still feel it’s not quite right but it’s getting better every day and the good thing is that I’m training with the rest of the group. We’re just waiting for this little discomfort to go away and then I’ll be raring to go.”
