Jurgen Klopp says injured Liverpool star could play against Arsenal

Jurgen Klopp has shared a positive fitness news ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Arsenal at Anfield. During the international break several Reds players suffered injuries. Jordan Henderson returned to Liverpoool early after sustaining a minor injury in England’s World Cup qualifier against Albania on Friday. While Andy Robertson was forced off in Scotland’s win over Denmark on Monday this week. However, head coach Klopp is optimistic that both the Liverpool captain and the left-back could be fit against Mikel Arteta’s side.

“Robbo was lucky, we can probably say,” Klopp told the Liverpool website.   “It was a little bit DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), the intensity of all the games he played probably, rather than anything else.   “He was smart enough to (make) the right decision, he went off early, which he usually is not doing but in this case it was absolutely right, and so there’s a good chance that he can be involved at the weekend.   “Hendo, a little bit more (injured) than Robbo, but a chance for the weekend so we are working on that.   “It’s not a serious injury but in this short period of time we have to see if he is ready for Saturday, but after that, 100 per cent, and possibly for Arsenal as well.”
