# Klopp contemplating Lallana inclusion ahead of Chelsea

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could recall Adam Lallana to his 18-man squad ahead of the club’s trip to Chelsea this weekend.

According to a report from the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/emre-can-injury-transfer-liverpool-14617598), the Reds boss is pondering an inclusion for the experienced midfielder, who has endured an injury-plagued campaign.

Lallana was forced off with what looked to be a season-ending injury against Crystal Palace at the end of March but he appears to now be back to full fitness and may be available for the game at Stamford Bridge.

The England international was an important player for Liverpool last season but has been unable to influence proceedings this term, with long-term injury woes limiting his first-team chances.

Lallana will be desperate to impress if given the opportunity, with England boss Gareth Southgate gearing up to name his 23-man squad for this summer’s World Cup.

The return of Lallana is a timely boost for Jurgen Klopp, who will be keen to make use of his whole squad off the back of a tiring midweek encounter in the Champions League with Roma.
