Liverpool ace Coutinho 'fit and healthy' for Sevilla clash confirms Klopp

Philippe Coutinho is 'fit and healthy' ahead of Liverpool's opening Champions League match against Sevilla, confirms Jurgen Klopp.

The Brazilian has been out of action for the Reds all season with an apparent 'back injury'.

However, his physical complaints coincided with him handing in a transfer request as Barcelona pursued him heavily during August.

Klopp said: "He is fit, he is healthy. All other information about the line-up, I think, you have to wait until tomorrow.

"He is here [with] no [fitness issue]."
