Liverpool head to Napoli with eight players ruled out through injury and Jurgen Klopp was on hand to provide fitness updates for Thiago Alcantara and Jordan Henderson.
Speaking to the media in Italy, the 55-year-old said: “Thiago, back in training, second day today. [It] it means that it is ready; for how long, we’ll see.
“And Hendo, yes, we have the scan result. It will be later [the] international break, I think he will come back.”

It was great to see our number 6 back in training and to hear that he will be fit enough to be in the matchday squad for our first Champions League match, it is certainly exciting.
As for our skipper, there were earlier reports that he would be out injured for three weeks and it seems this has now been confirmed for the boss.
We can only hope that the German’s injury problems end quickly and that we see a drop in treatment room attendance.
