“Emre has kind of a full body bruise. Everywhere,” Klopp was quoted as saying by the Echo.

“We left him out on Monday because he had back pain, knee pain. Nothing serious, thank God. Really, he has knocks everywhere. I hope he will be fit.

“Joel had a little bit of a back problem or two. He saw the doc before training so we will see. He should be okay.”

“We don’t think about what we miss, we think about what we can do to win this football game,” he added.

“I can’t remember the last time all the players were available and decisions were really difficult to make. It will be a similar line up, but not exactly the same.

“We have different options. We could bring experience or young boys.”

Emre Can has become a key component in Liverpool’s midfield i recent weeks. The box-to-box midfielder played a staring role against Everton last week.

The 23-year-old has three assists and four goals in 32 apperances for Liverpool this season.

Liverpool has won three of their last four Premier League games.
