Liverpool injury update ahead of Wolves as Jürgen Klopp could get three players back

Liverpool are preparing to say goodbye to Jürgen Klopp this weekend. The German will retire after the clash with Wolves at Anfield but could get a surprise final push for selection.

Klopp saw his side draw with Aston Villa on Monday night and with third place secured, his players will be able to go out and put on a show for their departing boss. Liverpool supporters will also be planning a special farewell to their iconic manager.

He admitted he might not be able to hold back the tears when he walks down the tunnel for the last time and there is unlikely to be a dry eye in the house after nine remarkable years.

Klopp will face the media on Friday for a final pre-match press conference where he will issue an update on the fitness of a number of players. He saw the three return to training on Thursday, with a familiar face surprisingly involved. Here’s the latest injury news ahead of Sunday’s bye.

Andy Robertson and Diogo Jota

Liverpool pair Andy Robertson and Diogo Jota trained on Thursday and should feature in Klopp’s squad against Wolves. Jota has not played since picking up a muscle injury in the win over Fulham last month.

Robertson, meanwhile, missed the equalizer against Aston Villa with a slight blunder, but Klopp later revealed he was not far off. Joe Gomez was replaced at Villa Park at left-back, but Robertson will be expected to return to the starting line-up.

Thiago Alcântara and Joël Matip

The Spanish midfielder appeared to have played his last game for Liverpool but was also surprisingly pictured in training on Thursday. Thiago’s season was limited to a single cameo appearance in the defeat to Arsenal, but he picked up a muscle problem and has not played since.

His career at Anfield has been hampered by injuries and he is expected to leave on a free transfer when his contract expires. Thiago could get a chance to say goodbye to Liverpool fans if he is included on the bench against Wolves.

Meanwhile, Matip is still sidelined as he continues his recovery from an extended knee layoff. He is also expected to leave at the end of the season.

Bobby Clark and Ben Doak

It’s been a breakout season for young midfielder Bobby Clark, but he’s ruled out with a back injury. Clark sustained the problem in an under-21 game but will be keen to be fit in time for pre-season.

Meanwhile, Doak has yet to return to action after undergoing surgery on a knee problem in December. This problem ended his hopes of playing at the European Championships with Scotland.
