Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino has been declared fit enough to start Saturday's match versus Southampton at Anfield.
Firmino suffered an eye injury in last Saturday's 2-1 win against Tottenham at Wembley, and was only deemed fit enough for the bench in Tuesday's Champions League win against PSG.
However, the Brazilian came off the bench and won the game for the Reds with an excellent solo goal in the dying embers of the game.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference earlier today, manager Jurgen Klopp revealed that Firmino is fit enough to start tomorrow's clash.
"Yes, he is ready," Klopp confirmed. "So far there is no reason to think about Bobby, it's about thinking about how can we line up in general differently.
"Could they (Firmino and Sturridge) play together? Yes, of course. It's just positive the impact Daniel had (against PSG).
"It was an intense game, it was a fantastic game of him, to be honest, so that's the best news and so now we know more about that."
Liverpool will be aiming to maintain their perfect start to the season, and try to make it six wins in as many games.
