Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain took part in the warm-up on Monday

Klopp said:“I don’t know 100 per cent. It’s Monday and we play on Tuesday so most of that should be clear.“Gini [Wijnaldum] trained and looked really well. [Xherdan] Shaqiri did a lot, so it will be close, we have to see.“Dejan [Lovren], I actually have to wait minute by minute if there is a chance or not.“But that’s pretty much all, I would say.”4
