Liverpool team news: Virgil van Dijk should be fit to face Southampton (Image: GETTY•buildlineup.com)
The Dutchman suffered a knock during the dramatic 2-1 win over Tottenham last weekend and was pictured with an ice pack on his ankle after the final whistle.
Van Dijk appeared to pick up the injury after a tackle from Moussa Sissoko but has suffered no lasting effects from the collision and returned to training this week.
“We have to see until the match obviously but after the [Spurs] game probably you think about Virgil - he trained normally, everything okay.
“Yesterday [Tuesday], we only had the second recovery session but he was involved in that and I heard nothing different that he could maybe not train today.
“It looks all okay.”
Meanwhile, Dejan Lovren is fit once again while Joe Gomez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are back in training as they near returns from their respective long-term injuries.
The latter duo are still short of match fitness but will be considered for selection in the near future.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson will line up in the full-back roles while Fabinho is expected to come into the side from the start.
One of James Milner or Jordan Henderson is expected to drop out while Naby Keita could also be considered for selection in the midfield trio.
The front three will remain the same while Adam Lallana, Xherdan Shaqiri, Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi are all options as Liverpool look to regain top spot in the Premier League.
