Kirkland told the clubs official website that he would participate in training ahead of the Premiership clash with Aston Villa.

He said: "It's fine. There's no problem and I'll be training as usual later today"

The young Englishman also believes that the Reds can still reach the Worthington Cup final.

He said: "There's still 90 minutes to go and they've got to come back to Anfield which is a tough place to come to. We definitely think we can still qualify.

"If we didn't, there would be no point playing the return leg. All the lads said after the game, we'll get them in the next leg."
