Christian Benteke and Roberto Firnino are part of a strong squad that ave traveled to Rubin Kazan |
Benteke has been eased back into action but already provided glimpses of what the Reds were missing while he was injured, with goals against Southampton and Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Firmino's return to fitness provides a welcome boost that was outlined with a stunning display against Bournemouth in the Capital One Cup.
While Klopp is yet to confirm who will start, reports claim the Europa League clash could be a chance for Benteke, Firmino and Dejan Lovren to prove their long-term fitness.
However, Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson remain sidelined.

The Reds can close the gap on Group B leaders Sion with victory in Russia but risk being left behind in the race for qualification with defeat.
Consecutive draws against Bordeaux, Sion and Kazan means their position is perilous but they are in good form going into the clash.
Since Klopp took the reins form the sacked Brendan Rodgers, they are unbeaten in five games and will be buoyed by their 3-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
