Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho has welcomed the return of Lucas Leiva to the first team.
Lucas started for the win against Stoke City.
"I'm not surprised that Lucas had a good game," Coutinho told Liverpoolfc.com after the final whistle. "He has been training well and he's a hard-working guy. I'm very happy for him for his appearances and for the whole team having won the three points today.
"The mood is good in the dressing room, but the players are already thinking about the next game. We want to try and take the positives from this game and try to take advantage of that and win the next match."
