Jurgen Klopp has confirmed major fitness boost for his side in the coming weeks
| ||||||
Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Joe Gomez will be back mid-March while Dejan Lovren is back in full time training, and could be on the bench for the derby at the weekend.
Klopp also added Oxlade-Chamberlain is stepping up his comeback to team action.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has been sidelined for almost 12 months, but he has returned to training with the first team squad ahead of schedule and could make first appearance soon.
Jurgen Klopp confirmed: "I think after the international break, he should be okay. If nobody gets injured before then, we'll have a proper choice."
"Ox is doing 70 per cent of team training," Klopp said.
"He trains full, but not as much as the others. Then he leaves a bit early to do something else and the things he needs. Everyone is always looking for a reaction but nothing happened yet.
"We have to prepare him for his entire career, not just one particular game. When he's in training it looks very nice."
Meanwhile, Gomez who had undergone a surgery following his fractured leg against Burnley in December has been confirmed back in training.
The England full-back is expected to return after the international break in mid-March.
On Dejan Lovren's comeback, the German coach said: "Dejan is looking good and now starts proper training. He could be ready again after Everton ."
