# Liverpool Team News: Manchester City (H)

At the pre-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp gave an update on the fitness of Liverpool midfielders [Naby Keita](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/319780-naby-keita-fitness-update) and Adam Lallana.

Keita was substituted early in the first half of Liverpool’s Champions League defeat to Napoli on Wednesday night. When asked about him, Klopp said,

> Not 100 per cent sure, he had a back spasm. So we have to wait a little bit.

He added,

> He will be in today; if he can do something on the training ground, I don’t know… We don’t know in this moment as well if he can train tomorrow, we have to see. It didn’t look too serious, so there’s a chance but we don’t know.

Adam Lallana has also returned to full training after recovering from sustaining a groin injury. Klopp said,

> \[Lallana\] is in full training, we have to see.

Apart from those two, there are no other injury concerns for Jurgen Klopp ahead of the top of the table clash with Manchester City.
