Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has seen his squad ravaged with injuries since the turn of the year but has somehow kept his side’s quadruple quest alive. Liverpool was without 11 players for the Carabao Cup final last month as the Reds’ young guns stepped up to the plate.
The situation worsened at Wembley after losing Ryan Gravenberch and then Wataru Endō after the match but there was no excuses from the Liverpool boss. Fortunately for Klopp, Endō was able to feature off the bench at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, alongside Dominik Szoboszlai and match-winner Darwin Núñez.
Núñez had been sidelined since picking up a knock at Brentford while Szoboszlai had made just one start since January 1 after aggravating a hamstring problem. But both are now back fit and will give Klopp a major boost ahead of this week’s clashes with Sparta Prague and Manchester City.

But it appears there is another double boost on the cards for the Anfield boss. Liverpool posted a series of pictures on social media on Tuesday as its players arrived at the AXA Training Centre to prepare for the trip to the Czech capital.
And among them were Gravenberch and fellow sidelined midfielder Curtis Jones, who was forced off with an ankle injury at Brentford. Both players have been seen on crutches in recent weeks but Gravenberch was seen arriving unaided, walking freely. Jones meanwhile was only carrying a protective boot as he walked with Andy Robertson.
It appears Dutch international Gravenberch is the closest to returning out of the pair after he was forced off at Wembley. The 21-year-old was on the receiving end of a late challenge from Moisés Caicedo but Klopp later confirmed it was a ligament injury rather than a break.
