Philippe Coutinho recovers from hamstring injury

Philippe Coutinho has overcome a hamstring injury to return to the Liverpool squad for their Europa League tie with Sion tomorrow evening.

The Brazilian has been missing since picking up a muscle strain in the 4-1 victory over Manchester City in November.

He was initially only expected to miss a few days, but was instead out of the next four matches in all competitions.

While Coutinho has made the trip to Sion, Jurgen Klopp has decided to leave a number of senior players at home, including Lucas Leiva, Joe Allen, Alberto Moreno and Jordon Ibe.

Liverpool have already qualified for the last 32 of the Europa League and they will top Group B if they avoid defeat against the Swiss outfit.
