Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara is available for Wednesday’s Champions League Group A opener against Napoli after returning to training from injury.
But another midfielder, Jordan Henderson, is out after suffering a hamstring injury in last week’s win over Newcastle United.
The return of Spain international Thiago, who has not played since day one of the Premier League season, is a boost for Klopp who had several players absent in the opening weeks of the campaign.
“Thiago, back in training, second day today. [It] means it is ready; for how long, we’ll see,” Klopp said.
The German says Henderson, however, won’t be back until this month’s international break.
Brazilian Arthur Melo, on loan from Juventus last week, could play a role in the game, Klopp says.
“He needs football and training. He hasn’t been in team training for a while. Can he play minutes? Yes. Should he play a full game? No,” a- he declared.
Liverpool have lost their two previous meetings at Napoli in the Champions League.
Klopp’s side were runners-up in last season’s competition, losing to Real Madrid in the final in Paris.
