Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson and Dominik Szoboszlai have ‘a chance’ to feature in Sunday’s clash with Norwich City.

Having booked their place in the Carabao Cup final on Wednesday night, Liverpool now turn attentions to their Emirates FA Cup fourth-round tie with the Canaries at Anfield.

Robertson was back on the bench at Fulham having been sidelined since October with a shoulder issue, while Alexander-Arnold (knee) and Szoboszlai (hamstring) are nearing returns to full training.

Updating on the trio at his pre-Norwich press conference, Jürgen Klopp said: “There’s a chance for all of them but we will really have to see. It’s touch and go.

“Robbo is physically ready and I think it was good to have him in the matchday squad, and he’s completely in the normal team training schedule.

“Like Dom from tomorrow on. He had yesterday a session, today I think he has a day off as well and then from tomorrow on he is in completely normal. That means he is obviously ready for minutes.

“With Trent, is it already Norwich or is it the game after? We have to see. He was not in team training, not even parts of team training yet, so if he can be in tomorrow then I have to make a decision there. That’s it pretty much with these boys.

“So then we will see. It would be absolutely very helpful if they all could be involved, but we have to see.”

On the fitness of his squad generally, Klopp later added: “And I hope that Thiago [Alcantara] and Stefan [Bajcetic] will be back as well rather sooner than later, that would be cool.

“Kosti [Kostas Tsimikas] is close. Kosti is actually fit, Kosti just has to wait now for the green light because the bone healing takes much longer, but the plate is doing the job in the moment.

“Now we have to figure out when is one taking enough over, let me say it like that. And then he’s in training as well. He was not out that long, like Trent was not, like Dom was not.”
