However, boss Jurgen Klopp will have endured a nervy couple of days as Roberto Firmino was forced to sit out of training.
The Brazilian star was suffering from a virus and wasn’t the only worry for Klopp during the Liverpool session.
Dejan Lovren has failed to recover from a hamstring injury in time for the big clash while Virgil van Dijk is suspended for one European match.
Fabinho is likely to become a makeshift centre-back for the evening alongside Joel Matip.
Despite concerns about the defence, fans will be desperate for Firmino to recover in time for the showdown – and a decision over his involvement appears to have been made.
Express Sport rounds up the latest Liverpool team news ahead of their clash with Bayern Munich.
Liverpool team news
Firmino missed yesterday’s session and appeared to be a major doubt for the clash, but he has been given the all-clear to start the game.
The striker linked up with his team-mates today, and given Liverpool’s lack of central striker options, he will be selected to play.
Daniel Sturridge would have been the stand-in choice but he must settle for a place on the bench.
As mentioned, Lovren will miss the game meaning Fabinho and Matip are expected to start at the back.
