Liverpool boss Klopp reveals crocked trio close to return

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed three players are set to return from injury.

Klopp says Joe Gomez will be back in March.

And he also offered further positive bulletins on key figures within his squad by confirming Dejan Lovren is back in full time training, and could be on the bench for the derby at the weekend.

Klopp also suggested that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is close to a recall.

“I think after the international break, he should be okay. If nobody gets injured before then, we'll have a proper choice," the German coach revealed.

“Joe is doing his rehab and looks good, has made big steps now — outside running and all these things.

“Dejan is looking good and now starts proper training. He could be ready again after Everton.

“Ox is doing 70% of team training.

“He trains full, but not as much as the others. Then he leaves a bit early to do something else, (working) on the things he needs. Everyone is always looking for a reaction but nothing happened yet.

“We have to prepare him for his entire career, not just one particular game. When he's in training it looks very nice."
