Klopp has Lucas Leiva and Kevin Stewart back among his midfield options for Stoke’s visit to Anfield, where he will ponder shuffling his pack with the return against Dortmund coming on Thursday.

“I think it was a great effort from all of us in defence and all it was missing was maybe Divock scoring the one-on-one against their goalkeeper and it would have been a different game”.
The charges come as a surprise considering that crowd behavior during the match was so good, fans of both teams joined in singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. “But we have to play at our best in the rematch to go through”. The people here are very special as well.
Midway through Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Dortmund in the Europa League quarter final first leg, the captain landed awkwardly after jumping for a header.
“The result is okay”.
Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren believes he is a more clever player having learned from past mistakes.
“It was clear to us that it wouldn’t be an easy game and so it proved, we didn’t start well”. But we had some moments and around our goal we were brilliant.
Weidenfeller denied Origi a second shortly before the break and he also saved well from Philippe Coutinho in the second-half, although the visitors were forced to soak up a lot of pressure as Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tried their hardest to find the hosts a victor. “I wish that we could have played with more of a smile on our faces”. That made a big difference for us and it was nice to see.
“Next week it’ll be better. We’ll make decisions after our evening training”. “The second goal, quite simply” he said.
Dortmund will though need a club first if they are to reach the semi-finals. Three 1-1 draws at home previously resulted in elimination.
Jürgen Klopp has said Jordan Henderson’s knee injury is serious but that there is still a chance the midfielder could play for England at Euro 2016.
“We saw the game – it’s still 50-50”.

Given the entire summer transfer window is going to involve linking Jurgen Klopp/Antonio Conte/Pep Guardiola with moves for their former players, we thought we’d get one in early.
