Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has offered a major injury update ahead of the upcoming FA Cup fixture against Brighton, confirming that the Reds are a couple of weeks away from a triple injury return. Luis Diaz is expected to take longer, however Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk are all on the verge of returning to training.

The news gives Liverpool a major boost before the Champions League showdown against Real Madrid in three weeks. Klopp expressed his belief that Jota will likely be fit for the tie, while Van Dijk and Firmino should also be in contention, should they pass training.

Klopp was also positive about the progress of Arthur Melo, saying that he is "running a lot" and "has looked good for a while now". With two or three weeks expected until he can join team training, the Brazilian could also be back in time for the big clash. Fabio Carvalho, however, is not expected to be at full fitness just yet. Millie, who missed a day of training, is declared fit and Nat has just a "proper, proper cold".

Liverpool will surely be delighted to have some of their star players back from injury as they prepare to face Madrid. Jurgen Klopp will no doubt be eagerly awaiting the return of some of his players as he hopes to guide his side to European success this season.
