He said: “Georginio Wijnaldum and Trent Alexander-Arnold we will decide day-by-day.The exceptional part of that story is that they both played 90 minutes [at Brighton].The whole world saw what happened to Trent what a boy, unbelievable. He continued: We played the game and afterwards we got the information that he had [an injury].Nothing happened during the game, it was all stable and good.It was just what happened before the game; adrenaline is obviously an interesting thing, it gives you the opportunity to do a bit more than you would expect. We will see.3

For both, it will be really, really close for tomorrow.“I dont want to close any doors before anybody tells me I have to.Elsewhere, Klopp confirmed midfielder Adam Lallana has resumed full training while Dejan Lovren is making progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury.Joe Gomez is also on the road to recovery from a hamstring injury.He added: Dejan (Lovren) is much better than he was, pretty sure he can be involved against Leicester.“Adam Lallana trained yesterday. Joe Gomez is improving, we hope it will be quick from now on.”In other news, Klopp is optimistic Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will play a part at some stage this season but teenage striker Rhian Brewster will now not be fit until the summer.3

Klopp hopes to have Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back in his squad before the end of the season

Oxlade-Chamberlain is ahead of schedule in his return from ruptured knee ligaments and having initially been ruled out for the whole campaign, Klopp expects to see him back before May.Klopp revealed: “Last time (I spoke about it) I think I put a bit of pressure on the medical department but when I see him running, moving with the ball and all the stuff – which he is all doing already – it looks really good, promising, close to a return.“But, in the end, it’s so long out, (since) April against Roma – what a situation.“It will be fine; it looks completely without any problems in the moment, no swellings any more.“He can really work already on his fitness issues, which he’s had for a long time. “I think we will see him this season.”Brewster, who sustained knee and ankle injuries last January, was first expected to be fit in September, then December and now after further surgery he will only be considered for pre-season.He said: “(He is) not as far as he wants to be, for sure.“His running now looks much better since he had another little surgery.“It’s no problem, he has the time. I would say we don’t have to think about him before pre-season.”
