​Liverpool manager Klopp: Alisson, Fabinho & Jota in contention for Chelsea

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp should have some players back for their Premier League clash with Chelsea on Thursday.

The Reds face a key game in their fight to finish in the top four, as they come off the back of an impressive win over Sheffield United away from home.

Asked about whether some players may return from injury, Klopp mentioned the likes of Alisson Becker, Fabinho and Diogo Jota could play.

Klopp told reporters: "Alisson and Fabinho, I'm pretty sure [will be available].

"With Diogo, he was with us in the hotel, but he got sick overnight and we had to send him home. It depends how quick he will recover, obviously.

"He was in the squad and as I said before, he trained with the team and it all looked really good but unfortunately he got sick overnight. I think he will be available, but I don't know."
