Liverpool boss Klopp: It's close - but Jota could make Everton clash

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is counting on a personnel boost facing Everton on Monday night.

Klopp confirmed today Diogo Jota is back in training and could be in contention for Monday's Merseyside derby.

Roberto Firmino, Arthur Melo and Virgil van Dijk are also training with the squad but are unlikely to feature against the Toffees.

"Diogo is the closest, trains now already for two days," said Klopp. "Another three days and then he is in contention I would say.

"Bobby - I don't know, have to see how he deals with training intensity. Arthur similar to Bobby. Virgil I don't think that close."
