Liverpool’s Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum are both expected to feature against Chelsea on Sunday after recovering from minor injuries.
Mane, who has been one of the Reds’ standout performers this season, sustained a thumb problem in training earlier in the week.
Meanwhile, Dutch midfielder Wijnaldum, who was an unused substitute in Liverpool’s 2-0 Champions League victory over FC Porto in midweek, is nursing a back problem.
The pair have both been regulars under boss Jurgen Klopp this season, with forward Mane making 41 appearances in all competitions, compared to Wijnaldum’s 38.
And talking to the press on Friday, cited by the club’s official website, Klopp gave an update over the pair’s condition.
Sadio fell on his thumb and didn’t train yesterday. He should be OK today.
Gini has a bit of a back problem but will train today.
A win for Liverpool against Chelsea on Sunday would take them to 85 points with four league fixtures remaining.
