Lovren hands Liverpool boss Klopp fitness boost

Dejan Lovren is back in action to boost Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

The Reds centre-back played the full game for Croatia as they were beaten 2-1 by Hungary in a Euro 2020 qualifier at the Groupama Arena in Budapest.

Lovren, who was part of the Croatia squad that ended last summer's World Cup as runners-up, hasn't featured for Liverpool since limping out of the FA Cup exit at Wolves back in January 7.

Klopp will be pleased to see Lovren come through the game in Hungary without any setbacks after watching the 29-year-old endure mixed fortunes throughout the campaign.

Lovren has made just 13 appearances this term and is yet to play 10 games consecutively for the Reds since moving from Southampton for around £20million in the summer of 2014.
