Liverpool get huge boost as three stars return from injury at Nottingham Forest
Darwin Nunez, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo are all back in the Liverpool squad for Saturday's clash with Nottingham Forest.
Nunez has been out of action since going off at half-time in the 4-1 win over Brentford two weeks ago, Szoboszlai hasn't played since suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury against Chelsea at the end of January and Endo was seen in a protective boot after last weekend's Carabao Cup final win over the same opponents.
All three are on the bench for the clash at the City Ground, while Andy Robertson returns to the starting lineup after he missed the midweek FA Cup win over Southampton through illness. Alexis Mac Allister also starts again after being a substitute against the Saints, while there is also a first Premier League start for teenager Bobby Clark.
Liverpool starting XI: Kelleher, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gomez, Mac Allister, Clark; Elliott, Gakpo, Diaz.
Substitutes: Adrian, Endo, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Tsimikas, McConnell, Koumas, Danns, Quansah.
Klopp's dream Liverpool line up as last-gasp January transfers rejected
Jurgen Klopp had confirmed that all three returning players, and Robertson, were close to a comeback when he spoke on Friday, adding that Mo Salah is still a week away from his return from injury.
Wataru Endo arrives at the City Ground (PA)Klopp said: “I don't think Mo is too far off but he will not be on the pitch tomorrow and from there we have to go. Mo is a bit longer, maybe next week is possible, he is on the way back, definitely. Not for tomorrow.
“Darwin and Dom trained yesterday with the team. We'll see how they react. Wataru and Robbo didn't but there's a plan they join today."
Nottingham Forest starting XI: Sels, Murillo, Toffolo, Williams, Omobamidele, Hudson-Odoi, Elanga, Yates, Gibbs-White, Domínguez, Origi.
