Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has provided injury updates on Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Xherdan Shaqiri ahead of their meeting with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The Reds have fallen back to second in the Premier League, but can move ahead of Manchester City once again with three points against Mauricio Pochettino's men.

Fortunately for Klopp, he may be able to call on Gomez to help earn a win on Sunday, as he told the club's official website that the defender has recovered from the leg fracture which he suffered in December.
Klopp said:
“After a long time, I think Joe was out for 15 weeks, that is long, so he needs to now create the basis again for the rest of the season.”
In a separate post on Liverpool's website, Klopp discussed the fitness of Alexander-Arnold, who was forced to sit out England's European qualifiers against both the Czech Republic and Montenegro with a back injury.
He said:
“For him, it was really important that he could do the rehab and not being in normal training all the time."
Finally, Klopp offered an update on Shaqiri, who also missed international duty with a groin injury. He added:
“He trained, not how he could train, but was still in the squad and all that stuff because we didn’t have a lot of options. Now he feels better day by day and should be fine for the weekend.”
