Liverpool FC have been handed a double fitness boost as owners John W Henry and Tom Werner fly in to attend Saturday’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa at Anfield.

Joe Allen and Mamadou Sakho could return to action against Paul Lambert’s mid-table side after recovering from injuries.

Midfielder Allen hasn’t featured since suffering a groin injury in the defeat to Chelsea on December 29 but has responded well to treatment.

Sakho limped off in the same game with a hamstring problem and returned to training late last week.

Boss Brendan Rodgers opted not to risk him against Stoke City last weekend but the French centre-back has continued to make progress and could earn a recall against Villa.

This weekend’s clash is expected to come too soon for Jon Flanagan, who is also on the comeback trail after damaging his hamstring in the win over Cardiff before Christmas.

The young full-back should be back available for the FA Cup trip to Bournemouth the following Saturday.

Principal owner Henry and chairman Werner are both expected at Anfield on Saturday to watch Brendan Rodgers’ in-form side.

It will be their first visit since the American duo attended the Hillsborough Memorial Service last April.

Saturday will also be the first home game Henry has been to since Rodgers was appointed manager in June 2012. The last Liverpool match he attended was the pre-season friendly against Valerenga in Norway last August.

During their stay in the city Rodgers will have talks with the owners about the club’s January transfer plans.
