Klopp admitted Liverpool would see how Nunez could cope with the pain during his pre-match press conference in regards to whether the striker would be involved. Nunez has bagged 11 goals this campaign.
However, there was no Ibrahima Konate again with the squad. He’s missed the past three games with a hamstring issue.
And Liverpool may be another centre-back short as Nat Phillips could not be spotted. He was an unused substitute against Newcastle and if he did miss training, it does not necessarily mean he’s suffered an injury.
Thiago Alcantara (hip) and Luis Diaz (knee) are still sidelined, while Calvin Ramsay (knee) will miss the rest of the season after requiring surgery.
