Liverpool trio Roberto Firmino, Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip are all back in training ahead of Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg clash with Inter Milan.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Roberto Firmino are all in training ahead of Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg with Inter Milan.

Matip missed the 1-0 win over West Ham United at the weekend due to illness, although Klopp stressed that the centre-back had not tested positive for COVID-19.

Thiago, meanwhile, has been out since sustaining a hamstring injury in the warm-up to the EFL Cup final, with the Spaniard reduced to tears on the bench at Wembley.

Finally, Firmino has not played since scoring in the 2-0 first-leg win at San Siro due to a muscular problem, but Klopp has offered a positive update on the trio ahead of Wednesday's game.

"Thiago, Bobby and Joel all trained yesterday, in full. We will have to see how they react," Klopp told reporters at his pre-match press conference.

"Thiago was only out for a week. Joel was 3-4 days so he will be fine. Bobby - yesterday was his first session, it might make sense to give him a few more days. But they are all in training."

Liverpool could become the first-ever English team to win their opening eight games of a Champions League campaign with victory in Tuesday's second leg.
