Liverpool will expect to welcome Sadio Mane back to the squad for Sunday’s Premier League battle with Burnley at Turf Moor.
The Africa Cup of Nations winner returned to Merseyside earlier this week, but he will likely only be considered for minutes off the bench after missing out against Leicester City.
Jordan Henderson and Divock Origi remain minor injury doubts at the time of writing, but Joe Gomez should be available after a bout of COVID-19.
Jurgen Klopp may be tempted to draft Ibrahima Konate into the backline given the quick turnaround, but Joel Matip performed valiantly in midweek and will most likely keep his place.
Should Henderson be spared for the impending Champions League tie with Inter Milan, Harvey Elliott could make his first start since September after building up his fitness with two substitute outings.
Thiago Alcantara‘s fitness must also be carefully managed, so Naby Keita could link up with Elliott and Fabinho in the middle, as Curtis Jones drops out.
Mohamed Salah returned off the bench against Leicester and will expect to come back into the first XI here – forming a fear-inducing front three with Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz.
Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Keita; Salah, Jota, Diaz
