Jürgen Klopp welcomed 10 players back from international duty this morning ahead of preparations for the weekend meeting with Manchester City stepping up.

Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho, Mohamed Salah, Ben Woodburn, Danny Ward, Dejan Lovren, Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dominic Solanke and Emre Can all returned to Melwood on Thursday.

They are set to join Sadio Mane, who reported back late yesterday afternoon, in resuming training ahead of Saturday's trip to the Etihad Stadium.

The Reds are aiming to build on an unbeaten start to the season when they face Pep Guardiola's team, who are also yet to taste defeat this term.
