Boss: Coutinho should be ready for Southampton
Jürgen Klopp expects Philippe Coutinho to be available for Liverpool's Capital One Cup quarter-final at Southampton on Wednesday night.
The Brazilian missed the midweek win over Bordeaux in the Europa League and today’s 1-0 Barclays Premier League victory against Swansea City.
But at his post-match press conference, the manager revealed Coutinho is in training and should be fit to face the Saints on the south coast.
“I think so, yes,” said Klopp at Anfield.
“Philippe had a very intensive session yesterday but we decided two or three days ago that we didn’t want to risk [him] for this game.
“Now I think he’s fit. I saw him in the dressing room and he looks good. I’ll have to talk with him tomorrow – I think he’s ready for Southampton.”
