Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp backs Dejan Lovren ahead of Huddersfield Town clash

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has suggested that defender Dejan Lovren is in line to start the Premier League fixture with Huddersfield Town.

Last weekend, Lovren was hauled off during the first half of Liverpool's 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium, with a back injury having being suggested as the reason for his early withdrawal, rather than the Croatian's performance.

However, Klopp has claimed that Lovren has enjoyed a "a good week" in training ahead of the meeting with the newly-promoted side at Anfield.

The 50-year-old told reporters: "You have no idea how it feels. I'm not the kind of person to stand around with a smart phone rather than helping.

"When I think about Dejan there are a lot more positive things than negatives ones. Everything is ok. He's had good week."

Lovren has made 10 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions this season.
