Liverpool defender Lovren in fitness race for Burnley clash

Liverpool star Dejan Lovren is fighting to be fit for the Reds as they face off against Burnley at the weekend.

Lovren has missed a string of games, as he has not featured since the team lost to Wolves in the FA Cup in January.

According to the Liverpool Echo, he aggravated his hamstring injury recently and may struggle to get in the squad.

The Croatian did not train on Wednesday and will have a fitness test before the game.

He is joined on the treatment table by Joe Gomez, with Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk the two fit central defenders at the club.
