Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson, Joel Matip, and Virgil van Dijk remain absent. But Klopp gave positive news about the progress of each player's recovery.

Leeds, on the other hand, still has to test Raphinha's fitness. The Brazilian suffered an injury during Marcelo Bielsa's team won 2-1 at Manchester City last weekend.
"The progress we will see in the next few days," the Argentina coach said during his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
Bielsa also confirmed that Leeds was considering the condition of striker Rodrigo, who is "recovering from a muscle injury picked up last week".
The home team is confirmed to be without their captain, Liam Cooper, for the match at Elland Road following his red card against City.
"They have great offensive power," Bielsa said of the Reds. “Their full-backs are wingers, and their winger is center-forward throughout the game.
“I think they are a team that is constantly thinking when football flows. They don't speculate, they always attack and spend a lot of time attacking and not too much defending.
“When they have to defend, I think they do well, taking into account the amount of energy they expend on attack. Like every team, they have their ups and downs. "
