Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is set to welcome Alisson Becker and Fabinho back for Tuesday's Champions League battle with Atletico Madrid.

The Brazilian duo were late returns from international duty and did not take part in the thrashing of Watford at the weekend - instead flying straight to the Spanish capital to prepare for this encounter.

However, the Reds are set to make do without Harvey Elliott and Thiago Alcantara once more, while Curtis Jones remains out with the injury he picked up while representing the Under-21s.

Alisson is set to wrestle the gloves back off Caoimhin Kelleher in Madrid, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson will both be fine to go again after being taken off early at Vicarage Road.

Fabinho's return will likely see James Milner drop out of the first XI, with Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita both holding their places.

Diogo Jota shook off a muscle injury in time to make the bench at the weekend, but Roberto Firmino may have made himself undroppable for this game after netting a hat-trick against the Hornets.

Meanwhile, Sadio Mane will aim to keep the momentum going from his 100th Premier League goal, while another Mohamed Salah stunner stole the headlines, and the Egyptian will aim to score for the sixth time in a row away from home in the Champions League this week.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Keita; Salah, Firmino, Mane
