Liverpool have Darwin Nunez and Ibrahima Konate available again for their Champions League match at Ajax, but Thiago Alcantara remains absent.

Striker Nunez and defender Konate have returned to training after respective hamstring and muscle injuries.

Thiago is still recovering from the ear infection that ruled him out of the 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Liverpool will progress from Group A to the last-16 stage if they avoid defeat in Amsterdam.

If Jurgen Klopp's men lose, they will require a point against Napoli at Anfield on 1 November to be certain of advancing.

Group leaders Napoli, who host Rangers on Wednesday, have already sealed their place in the knockout phase.

France centre-back Konate has not played since 12 October, while Uruguay forward Nunez, who has three goals in his past four appearances, missed the Forest defeat due to a muscle problem.

"He trained normal yesterday and today, so yes, in this moment, he is available," said Klopp on Tuesday when asked about Nunez.

Brazilian keeper Alisson will make his 200th Liverpool appearance if he plays.
