Jürgen Klopp is hopeful Trent Alexander-Arnold will be available for Liverpool's trip to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The Reds vice-captain has returned to training ahead of Saturday evening's fixture after recovering from the hamstring injury he sustained at the start of the month.

Meanwhile, Stefan Bajcetic is facing a spell on the sidelines due to a calf problem, and Thiago Alcantara and Conor Bradley remain out.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday morning, Klopp said: "Trent trained yesterday normal and will train today normal, and then we have to make a decision.

"He will be in the squad, I'm not a doctor so cannot make that decision, but it looks like he can be in the squad tomorrow and play.

"Stefan had a little, little setback. The problem with Stefan is I can imagine everyone wants to see him play more – I want – but we have to be really careful. And now it's a little, little, little tiny calf issue. That's how it is when you are six months out.

"And we try everything to get him up to speed without pushing him. We make a very specific plan for him but in the end it's disappointing for him, of course, but for us as well that he got another one.

"So we have to take him out a little bit. He can work on pretty much everything else but not playing. That's it, I would say.

"Thiago still out, Conor still out. I think that's it."
