Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expects to have a fully-fit squad for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Benfica at Anfield on Wednesday.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expects to have a fully-fit squad available for the second leg of his side's Champions League quarter-final with Benfica on Wednesday night.

Fabinho suffered a cut to the head during last week's 3-1 first-leg win at the Estadio da Luz but recovered in time to start in the weekend's 2-2 draw with Manchester City in the Premier League.

Klopp's side did not pick up any fresh injury concerns at the Etihad Stadium, and the Reds boss is hopeful of having a full complement of players to select from at Anfield.

"The next game has no influence on the lineup for tomorrow but the last game has. Super intense schedule," Klopp told reporters at his pre-match press conference.

"No-one injured as far as I know but we need to look at who is freshest. A super important game. We tried to so hard to get CL and now we can make it to semis."

Klopp also talked up the qualities of Darwin Nunez, who scored Benfica's only goal in the first leg amid transfer links with several top European sides, including Liverpool.
