Klopp offers injury update on Liverpool pair
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has issued an update on the fitness of Nathaniel Clyne and Lucas Leiva.
Klopp was speaking before Liverpool’s FA Cup replay against Plymouth Argyle.
Firstly, Klopp revealed that Lucas is unlikely to play a part in the game after not yet returning to training.
Leiva didn’t feature against Manchester United after suffering from a swollen knee, and the issue still remains.
JK: Lucas knee swollen, but it's only a bruise. We have to wait for swelling to go away. He's positive, maybe he could train today.

Another player absent from Sunday’s game was Clyne, and Klopp again had positive news.
While Clyne will not play a part against Plymouth, he may be back in time for the Swansea game this weekend.
JK: Clyne,it's really painful but after a scan it's nothing else (but muscle problem). We give him 2-3 more days. Big chance for Swansea.
