Virgil van Dijk, Diogo Jota, Conor Bradley - Liverpool injury news and return dates for Tottenham

Liverpool are gearing up for their return to Premier League action as they face Tottenham Hotspur.

The Reds host Spurs at Anfield in one of Jurgen Klopp's final matches as manager. Klopp will depart at the end of the season, with today's game against Tottenham his penultimate home fixture as Liverpool boss.

Virgil van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk is the latest player to emerge as an injury concern for Liverpool.

Klopp confirmed that Van Dijk had missed training during the week due to a fitness issue, but hinted that he could be involved on Friday. It remains to be seen if the Liverpool captain will recover in time to feature against Tottenham.

"No, [he will] probably be part of team training today, so we will have to see what we can do there," Klopp told reporters about Van Dijk's fitness on Friday.

Potential return date: Tottenham Hotspur (H) - May 5 or Aston Villa (A) - May 13.

Diogo Jota is currently recovering from a hip injury he sustained against Fulham on April 21.
