A number of Liverpool fans have been reacting joyously to Jurgen Klopp’s triple injury update.
The Reds have been ravaged by fitness issues this season, with Klopp having to make do without a host of key men.
Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are current long-term absentees, but Liverpool have also seen the likes of Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Fabinho, Thiago, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all ruled out at different times, too.
Despite that, the Reds are top of the Premier League by three points, heading into their weekend clash with Crystal Palace.
The champions head to Selhurst Park on Saturday lunchtime, with victory in south London potentially acting as another big moment in the title race.
Speaking ahead of the game on Friday, Klopp said Thiago, Milner and Xherdan Shaqiri are all nearing a return to full training, failing to rule them out of playing a part in it as early as next week.
Jurgen Klopp suggests Thiago Alcantara, Xherdan Shaqiri and James Milner could be back in full team training next week.
