Liverpool have had awful luck with injuries this season. The Reds have lost most of the first team at one time or another. Jürgen Klopp has somehow kept the side within touching distance of the top. Heading into a titanic clash in North London, some Liverpool fans have been celebrating some injury news.
Liverpool face Spurs
This week Jürgen Klopp takes his side to North London needing a win.
The Reds haven’t won a Premier League game since the 19th of December when they thrashed Crystal Palace 7-0.
There have been bore draws with Manchester United and Newcastle United as well as defeats to Burnley and Southampton.
The poor run of form has landed the Reds in fifth place but with a game in hand over West Ham above them.
Spurs can leapfrog Liverpool with a win, it is a potentially pivotal game for Jürgen Klopp.
Liverpool injury news
Jürgen Klopp has had to deal with a number of absences in recent weeks and months.
Most recently he’s been without his captain and he’s had to be cautious with his last remaining centre back.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference, the boss confirmed that Joel Matip and Jordan Henderson should be available for the trip to London.
What RTK has to say
This is the Liverpool injury news we all needed.
Having Matip and Henderson back means that the skipper can lineup in midfield alongside Gini Wijnaldum and Thiago.
The Reds could really benefit from having Hendo and Thiago in the midfield as the Spaniard could be afforded more freedom to get forward with the skipper behind him.

Some want Fabinho back in the midfield too.
Fans are relieved.
Whilst others are still pessimistic.
