Andy Robertson is ready to make his first-team return for Liverpool this weekend - and could be joined by Dominik Szoboszlai and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Robertson hasn't featured since undergoing shoulder surgery in October
Robertson was an unused substitute in Wednesday's League Cup semi-final second leg 1-1 draw at Fulham.
Szoboszlai has been out since limping off against Newcastle United on New Year's Day with a hamstring issue
Alexander-Arnold has missed the last three games with a knee complaint.
Jurgen Klopp has not ruled out all three being available for the FA Cup fourth round clash at home to Championship side Norwich City
Klopp
"There is a chance for all of them but we will really have to see,"
"It’s touch and go. Robbo is physically ready and it was good to have him in the matchday squad (at Fulham).
"He’s on a completely normal team training schedule, like Dom from tomorrow onwards.
"He had yesterday’s session, today I think he has a day off as well, and from tomorrow he’s in completely normal. Obviously that means he is ready for minutes.
"With Trent, is it Norwich or is it the game after? We have to see.
"He was not in team, not even parts of team training yet. If he can be in tomorrow, I have to make a decision there.
"We have to see. It will be absolutely helpful if they could all be involved but we have to see."
Klopp added
“Kosti is close,"
"Kosti is actually fit, Kosti just has to wait now for the green light because the bone healing takes much longer, but the plate is doing the job in the moment.
"Now we have to figure out when is one taking enough over, let me say it like that. And then he’s in training as well. He was not out that long, like Trent was not, like Dom was not.”
"We have had loads of injuries to deal with, that's never good but if it happens you have to try to work with that and that's what we did,"
"That's where Jarell Quansah is a product of that. He'd have had games anyway, but that amount? I'm not sure.
"That's how it is now. Conor Bradley would have had more games already if he wouldn't have been injured.
"Bobby Clark, it's so nice to bring him on, everyone sees he is ready. That's now the next step for him. Was he ready half-a-year ago? I don't know.
"But now he is, and we can bring him on and he can fill the role and make an impression.
"That's really good. It shows an injury 'crisis' gives opportunities. In these specific cases the boys used them, and it's really nice."
