Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes that Joe Gomez is only a few weeks away from returning.

It is unclear if the defender will be able to play any part for the rest of the season.

But the Englishman is approaching full fitness for the Reds, which would be a welcome boost to Klopp and his team.

He said to reporters of Gomez: "We want to have Joe around; not because he's 100 per cent ready but it's just nice to have him.

"For him it's better to have more sessions - he needs that, he's not long enough in training.

"If we are not struggling player wise then we should not think about Joe for the next one or two weeks."
