PreviewJürgen Klopp press conference: Team selection, Ben Doak's return and Toulouse

The Reds resume European duties on matchday four of the tournament knowing a victory will secure a place in the knockout phase with two games to spare.

A 23-man squad – minus Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and Virgil van Dijk – departed John Lennon Airport on Wednesday afternoon for southern France and Klopp acknowledged he is likely to rotate the ranks once more.

Nevertheless, the manager was keen to stress changes would only be made with the idea of returning to Merseyside with three points in mind.

Read on for a summary of Klopp's press conference at Stadium TFC…

On Luis Diaz's situation and his inclusion in the squad...

No real news, always a positive sign somehow, but not real news. And yes, he decided last week because he cannot go to Colombia and that will not be the case at the moment, so he is here and when he is here when he is at training it is a safe place, when he is around the matches it is a safe place with the team, everything is OK. He wants to be with us, he travelled, he is here, he is available.

On making changes in the Europa League fixtures while firmly aiming to win the matches...

That was always the idea. We could make changes [so far] and between the games we have to. As long as we can do it, and that's what we did so far, but if you look at our games – all the games we played in the Europa League – they were really lively, got more and more fluent and we had really good football moments in all of the games. We were always a team who really was ready to go in a specific game. We had already a lot of games this season, so if you would have to play the same team all the time it is not possible.

So, we could make the changes, we made the changes, we will make changes. I don't know exactly how many for tomorrow, you will have to count, but it will be a few probably and it will be a strong team. That's all I need and then we go for it. It has nothing to do with putting more emphasis on this competition or that competition, that is not the case. We just want to win football games and for that we need fresh legs and if we can give that to the team then we do that. Fresh legs with quality, obviously. That will be the same for tomorrow.

On Ben Doak's return to fitness...

[It's] really good. Obviously Ben really showed up for us, played a really good pre-season. He had these minutes with us, had a real impact, Europa League and stuff like this, came on in the Premier League as well and then had this injury. That always for a boy is not cool; it costs a bit of rhythm. Now he is back with us, fully training and so is an option for tomorrow, which is really, really helpful for us. As I said, we have to make changes – but we want to make changes with quality. Ben has obvious quality and that's why it's really helpful.

On whether he has been impressed with Jarell Quansah's development...

If you would have asked me in pre-season that he would have been that good I would have been surprised, but since then I have seen him every day and I am not surprised about it anymore because I know from the first day of pre-season how good a player he will be. So, yes, great to have a boy from our own Academy with that quality, with that potential, we will see where it will end up, but it's really promising.

He's doing extremely well so far, it's really cool as well, he's good on the ball, aggressive in the challenges, has everything you need and a lot of space for improvement and development. That's the best possible news for Liverpool. I am really happy he is here. There were obviously talks could he go on loan, he was on loan last year, can he go on loan again; we said no, so that was obviously a very good decision.

On how impressed he was by Toulouse and their fans at Anfield...

All three teams impressed me, to be honest. Union, LASK and Toulouse are good football teams. Toulouse especially. They caused us problems until we understood a little bit more about how they played but you are right, the supporters were exceptional. I think they enjoyed their time at Anfield and rightly so. I am excited about tomorrow; I can imagine it will be a proper atmosphere.

We're really looking forward to it, we respect a lot what Toulouse are doing. I know result-wise [they are] not in the best moment probably. But how I said before the first game against Toulouse, they have a really good idea of football, brave, well organised, and very flexible. We have to be ready. We have to play a good game, if we do that then we are not easy to play and we know that but if we don't do that we will have problems.

On what he expects from the match...

I expect Toulouse to go for it. It is a home game, it is a European competition and if you want to go through the group, and it's a tight group, you better win and I think that Toulouse sees that chance and they will try to use that chance. They will try to use the atmosphere, I can imagine that, and how I said, we have to make sure we are ready. We are quite experienced in European competition in the last few years, and we know away games are different, definitely different. It gives us a chance anyway. It's about us as well and how we play.

I expect a really strong Toulouse side tomorrow, I expect a team who wants to qualify for the next round and wants three points in this group. You never know how the other game will end up. They can make a big step as well. I know what is coming but I cannot make more than to tell my players how to deal with that situation and I know they will try everything to win the game as well and I am looking forward to it.
