Jürgen Klopp offers injury update ahead of Hull trip
Jürgen Klopp will have a near full squad to choose from on Saturday after reporting no new fitness concerns ahead of Liverpool's trip to Hull City.
The Reds sustained no fresh injury blows during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea, despite Jordan Henderson, Nathaniel Clyne and Dejan Lovren overcoming minor issues to feature.
Long-term absentees Danny Ings, Marko Grujic and Ovie Ejaria remain unavailable, but the German faces an otherwise tough team selection at the KCOM Stadium.
"We had, before the [Chelsea] game, a few issues," he explained to reporters at his pre-match press conference.
"We had still Clyney with the [rib] problem, but he was really fine, Hendo was really fine, Dejan Lovren was then really fine.
"Nothing else really happened in the game so they should be all in training today."

The recent return to fitness of a number of senior stars and a less packed fixture schedule in the coming months could result in fewer first-team opportunities for the club's young players.
But Klopp revealed that the Academy prospects who have made an impact in the first half of the season will remain at Melwood after proving themselves capable of training at the elite level required.
"Actually, it means nothing for them because they are settled in the training group, [which] I think is the most important step," he added.
"Being used sometimes because you are a talent or something like this is one thing, being always involved because you don’t disturb the process and you can keep the level, that's the most important thing.
"They are really involved and that’s the level they can train [at] already. They have [no] experience but they have a lot of talent and a lot of skills so, for them, it’s all good.
"Young players with big skills, [which] they obviously have, and are patient enough to do what they have to do - the world is bright and everything is fine for them. Nothing changes for them.
"If they [will] have match time in the Premier [from] the first minute, I don't know, but in this moment - and hopefully it stays like this - we have actually not the biggest injury issues, so we have more options to choose."
