# Ben Woodburn is back fit and available for Liverpool

Liverpool forward Ben Woodburn is back to full fitness and available for selection after his recent injury lay off.

Woodburn, who hasn’t featured much at all this season, would likely have at least been on the bench for Saturday’s Merseyside Derby had he been fully fit, but that wasn’t the case.

However, Jurgen Klopp told the official [Liverpool FC](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/297142-mohamed-salah-injury-update-liverpool-fc) website that the Welsh international is fully fit and has began full training one again.

He said:

> Ben Woodburn is back after a long period and trained yesterday completely normal, which is really good for us.

Whilst it’s unlikely that Woodburn will feature against Manchester City on Tuesday evening, there’s a chance that he could be needed between now and the end of the season.

Liverpool have lost a number of players to injury already and if Liverpool do go through against Manchester City, Klopp is likely to continue to shuffle his pack in order to keep players fully fit and as such, Woodburn is likely to get more game time.
