| Jon Flanagan has been out of action for 18 months with a knee injury |
Liverpool have been boosted by the return of defender Jon Flanagan from injury.
The 22-year-old featured for Liverpool's under-21 side in their match with Fleetwood Town following 18 months out with a knee injury.
Flanagan's contract expires at the end of the season and he will be hoping to get the chance to play under Jurgen Klopp and earn a new deal.
Another player out of contract in the summer is youngster Jerome Sinclair.
The 19-year-old is yet to make an appearance for the Reds this season and according to the Daily Mirror, Manchester City are keen to bring him to the Etihad Stadium.
Talks over a new contract have so far failed with their Premier League rivals keeping a close eye on his situation.
Liverpool take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light tomorrow night (7.45pm) hoping to follow up their Boxing Day win over Leicester with another victory.
And Klopp insists his side won't be taking Premier League strugglers Sunderland lightly.
"Now we have to play against Sunderland and we don't want to go there and show how football should be," Klopp said. "We'll go there and want to win - that's what we have to show.
"There's no reason to doubt the mentality of the team, that they'll maybe think 'it's only Sunderland' or anything like that... nobody in the team is like this.
"We want to improve our situation, we want to develop, and we want to get more points in this very, very important moment in the league, the end of December, January. There are so many points in the end of December and January.
"It's unbelievable and you should take every one you can."
