Adam Lallana Is Fit Again – Klopp

Jurgen Klopp has said Adam Lallana is set to be part of Liverpool’s squad for Sunday’s trip to Bournemouth, while goalkeeper Simon Mignolet will return to the starting lineup.

Lallana has only played four minutes of action so far this season due to a thigh injury sustained in preseason, along with Liverpool taking precautions with the midfielder’s fitness.

“Adam is back in full and normal training,” Klopp told a news conference on Friday. “If nothing changed since yesterday then he will be ready for the squad at least.

“[Alberto Moreno] has no chance for Sunday. I saw him yesterday on the bike — good, but not good enough. And Simon [Mignolet] is OK again.”

“Daniel, we have to wait [to see] how he improved since yesterday,” Klopp said. “[We have] a few little things, with Joe, knocks from the game.

“Joe had a little bit before, that’s why we left him out. But he should be OK. Millie and Robbo, a few knocks from the game, should be OK.”

Those results mean fifth-placed Liverpool now trail Premier League leaders Manchester City by 18 points, with Klopp saying the perception of his side has drastically changed following the two draws.

“From a neutral point of view, it’s good to see,” the Reds boss said of City. “But it’s not our situation. We have to sort our own things and that’s what we are doing.

“Nine days ago we were flying and now I look in your eyes and I see, obviously, we have real problems. It’s like it is. Everything is quick in this world in the moment.

“We will try again. I saw Bournemouth against United and couldn’t see the biggest difference to our game with West Brom, for example.

“United won it, or Bournemouth lost it. They [Bournemouth] had a proper performance. It was really good how they played — clear structure, 4-4-2, good defending, good football-playing team.”
