Fabinho has missed the Reds’ past three games with a hamstring injury.

Thiago, meanwhile, limped off in Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat of Wolves on the final day of the Premier League campaign last week.

The pair have both travelled to the French capital, though.

And Klopp provided a positive injury update on both.
