Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Virgil van Dijk is likely to start at the weekend.
The Dutch defender is back in training and could appear from the beginning against Newcastle United on Saturday.
The Reds know they are facing a must win game if they have any hope of qualifying for next season's Champions League through the Premier League.
I think so," Klopp stated during his press conference about Van Dijk returning.
Yesterday (in training), he looked absolutely ready."
Same squad as Monday night. Ibou (Konate) not yet, Luis (Diaz) not yet. But that's it pretty much," he added on other issues.
Nothing happened on the injury side. Thiago out. Calvin (Ramsay) had surgery, not available."
