Jurgen Klopp handed huge Liverpool injury boost ahead of Tottenham clash
Tottenham will be disappointed to see that Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold seems to have returned to full fitness ahead of their Premier League clash this weekend. Both sides head into the fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium unbeaten in the Premier League — with the Reds two points ahead of Spurs.
Alexander-Arnold has missed Liverpool's last four fixtures in all competitions after sustaining a hamstring problem in the 3-1 win against Aston Villa. Jurgen Klopp has opted to start the likes of Curtis Jones, Stefan Bajcetic and Joe Gomez in the England international's absence.
Spurs are facing their own injury concerns ahead of the clash against Liverpool. James Maddison and Son Heung-min both picked up knocks in the North London Derby against Arsenal last weekend.
Maddison is set to undergo scans on his knee after landing awkwardly on it during the 2-2 draw against the Gunners. Meanwhile, Brennan Johnson remains a doubt for the game against Liverpool after suffering a hamstring problem at the Emirates Stadium.
Manor Solomon replaced the Wales international in the attack, but it remains to be seen who Ange Postecoglou decides to start alongside Son and Dejan Kulusevski in attack. Richarlison could be brought back into the side with Son moving back out to the left wing — despite the South Korean forward performing well as a No.9.
