Liverpool return to action on Saturday afternoon with a Premier League encounter against struggling Watford.

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: April 2 (vs. Watford)

Just before the international break, Klopp revealed that Trent Alexander-Arnold had suffered a hamstring injury which would keep him out for a number of weeks. However, speaking to the media on Friday, Klopp suggested that the right-back could feature in the squad this weekend.

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: April 2 (vs. Watford)

Having been forced to withdraw from international duty with a knee injury, Naby Keita is an obvious fitness doubt ahead of this fixture. Nevertheless, the issue was described as being "minor", so the midfielder could feature in the squad for Saturday's fixture.

Liverpool have no players suspended for this game.
