. Liverpool will be boosted by the return of goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and a possible return for Croatian defender Dejan Lovren after an injury to Martin Skrtel has put the reds defence is jeopardy.

Ahead of Liverpool’s match against League leaders Leicester City at home, the Reds will be boosted by the return of Belgian keeper Simon Mignolet after the horror show his back-up Adam Bogdan put up against Watford. It looks like Dejan Lovren is also fit again for selection, which will help strengthen Liverpool’s back four.

a Martin is not too good and needs time. Hea s a tough guy who usually recovers quick but we cana t put pressure on it. It will be a few weeks at least and is really bad for us. Dejan has been back in training two days in a row and is available.” said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, according to The Guardian.

a Daniel Sturridge is still doing his little pre-season in a good way, 7-10 days like this and then wea ll see. Simon is back training normally today but James Milner has no chance for Leicester. Nobody knows where his calf injury came from and we have to wait one or two weeks. Thata s not too good for us too a ita s a long list.a

Defence a headache for Klopp

The injury to Slovakian center back Martin Skrtel has happened just as his regular defensive partner Mamadou Sakho recovered from his injury and these problems have made things complicated for manager Jurgen Klopp.

He said, a We lost Mama when he was in perfect shape and he came back when of course he had problems; it was not easy for him to come back in. Dejan was in perfect shape before he went out and now we have to see how he is, and now Martin [is out] when he was in perfect shape.a
