Liverpool have a hectic run of fixtures this month as they chase a historic quadruple.
The Reds face Benfica in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday before travelling to Man City next Sunday - where they could move top of the Premier League with a win.

“Trent wanted to go away with the national team but couldn’t. If you saw his pictures, he could not go anywhere.
“Sometimes injuries, thank god, are not that serious and that’s the case with Trent.
“It’ll be tight for tomorrow but it’s possible. It depends what you do before team training and what he did with our fitness department, was really intense before he trained with us.
“Physically, he should be fine but I have to make a decision about rhythm and these kind of things.”
