Liverpool had a double injury boost prior against Newcastle United, but midfielders were out.

Liverpool got double injury for Newcastle United but the midfielders were absent

Luis Diaz and Trent Alexander-Arnold were able to attend Liverpool training but Curtis Jones appeared to miss training

Both players were injured in Saturday’s 3-1 win against Bournemouth and were sent off as a precaution as the Reds won their first home game of the new Premier League season this weekend.

With Jürgen Klopp’s side taking on Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Sunday afternoon, the news that both are fit enough to play a part in early training sessions will be seen as a hugely positive development.

“[Trent] told me he had a pretty painful kick,” Klopp said on Saturday. “But as far as a turn or a crash, it was a kick. That’s why we changed back then, but I hope he’s okay.”

Diaz has also received treatment after retiring late, but he is fit and ready to be selected for Sunday’s match against the team that took them to the top four last season. However, Curtis Jones did not play after missing Saturday’s game with an ankle injury. The England under-21 international was likely still recovering from the issue before a return and Klopp will deliver the latest fitness update at his press conference at the AXA Training Center on Friday.

Elsewhere, new signing Wataru Endo was able to have another session with his new team-mates, following his sudden £16m move from Stuttgart last week.

The Japanese international made his debut for the Reds this weekend when he was introduced as a second-half substitute after sending off Alexis Mac Allister, who is still awaiting an appeal decision over that red card.

Endo was photographed getting some tactical advice from Klopp as the 30-year-old finished in time for the weekend visit to Newcastle. With Mac Allister potentially suspended, the former Stuttgart native could play an important role in the North East.

Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara were not pictured and Klopp will also include the Spanish pair in his latest update when he addresses the media at training camp on Friday.
