"Ali has been training for a full week and yes, we think he will come back," Klopp said as quoted by Antara from Liverpool's official website on Wednesday.
"Fab has had five or six sessions recovering from his injury and we have to take further decisions about that, but he is quite fit and ready to be in the squad tomorrow," he added.
Meanwhile, for Diogo Jota, Klopp is still unable to confirm whether his condition is fit enough to be involved in the match against Chelsea.
Jota returned to training last week after being sidelined for more than two months due to injury, but was not included in the squad against Sheffield due to a non-injury.

"Diogo is having a bit of a stomachache problem and yesterday practiced a little bit, just warming up and running," said Klopp.

Liverpool are currently ranked sixth with a collection of 43 points, if they can reverse their fortune of four consecutive defeats at home, the Reds have a chance to return to the top four of the standings.
