Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been handed an injury boost by right-back Nathaniel Clyne as he nears towards a return from a long-term back problem.

The England international picked up his injury during the pre-season, and he is yet to make an appearance for the Reds this season.

The German manager also provided an update on injured midfielder Adam Lallana.

He said: "Clyney yesterday had the third or fourth run outside, not the highest intensity, but a big step. Coped well so far with this.

"Adam is close to going outside and run. He's already on the altitude (training)."
