Jurgen Klopp happy with Alberto Moreno, Roberto Firmino fitness

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reveals that Alberto Moreno, Roberto Firmino and Lucas Leiva are all recovering well from their respective injuries.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Alberto Moreno and Roberto Firmino should be back fit after the international break.

Moreno has missed the last two matches with a calf injury, while Firmino was forced to pull out of the Brazil squad with the hamstring injury that kept him out of last weekend's 3-2 defeat to Southampton.

Lucas Leiva has been a longer-term absentee after picking up an injury against Manchester City in the League Cup final, but Klopp also revealed that the Brazilian is doing well in his recovery.

"It's really big for us. We let [Moreno] come in this morning, training light - no real challenges, he could pass a few balls," Klopp told the club's official website.

"But it was really good and he felt absolutely nothing, so from tomorrow he is completely back in the race, which is very important for us. Roberto Firmino is in a good way and Lucas is in a good way here.

"Joe Gomez and Danny Ings can work really hard and use the time here."

Liverpool are next in action at home to Tottenham Hotspur on April 2.
