Ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Benfica, Liverpool will travel to Portugal with a fully fit squad.

During the pre-match press conference on Monday afternoon, Jürgen Klopp was asked for a general fitness update, and he confirmed that Naby Keita is back after missing the weekend victory over Watford.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was an unused substitute against the Hornets, as well as Joel Matip and Curtis Jones, who both suffered knocks at Anfield on Saturday, are also available.
