Roberto Firmino is an injury doubt for Liverpool's Premier League meeting with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
The Brazilian forward -- Liverpool's top league goalscorer with eight -- has not fully recovered from the hamstring problem that caused him to miss the defeat at Southampton on March 20 and drop out of the Brazil squad.
Definitely sidelined is Christian Benteke after the striker had a knee problem diagnosed while away with Belgium. However, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp told a news conference on Friday that Divock Origi -- who also left the Belgium camp, with a thigh strain -- is fit to feature against second-placed Tottenham.
"With Belgium, Origi couldn't play because of a little muscle issue," Klopp said. "He's back in complete training yesterday, so he's available.
"It's completely different with Benteke; at the moment he's not available. We have to wait for an assessment to know exactly how long he's out, but for this game no chance.
"Firmino will be very close. We'll have to make a decision, maybe [on Saturday], and we will see. We won't pressure the situation -- we have to wait to see how he feels. So nothing's really changed in a positive way. But most of the players came back healthy from the international break."
Klopp said the visit of Tottenham was akin to a "final" for their opponents as they try to make up the five-point gap to leaders Leicester City. Paying tribute to the "brilliant progress" of Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs side, he said it was a golden opportunity for either themselves or Leicester to clinch a surprise league triumph.
"Maybe for them it's something like a final, to put pressure on Leicester," Klopp said. "Usually it's not important for us to think about the other team's situation but in this special case maybe it is.
"Tottenham play Liverpool, which is usually not a birthday party -- it's a hard fight. Then Leicester play Southampton, and we know what can happen against Southampton, so that's a really interesting situation, and Arsenal should not stop dreaming because everything is possible.
"I watch football and I see the brilliant progress of Tottenham, how strong they are and the fantastic development a few players obviously made. It's not only [Harry] Kane -- it's exceptional how good they've been. You could see it for the national team.
"It's a good season to fight for the title because there's a lot of teams who usually fight for the title who are not there.
"Hopefully in the future we can be more of a part of it."
The immediate challenge for Liverpool, Klopp said, was to prove their second half at Southampton, when they slipped from 2-0 up to a 3-2 loss, was a blip after they had gone eight games unbeaten.
"It helps to have the international break, to forget club football for a moment," he said. "We lost and we were frustrated -- we spoke immediately after. We showed first half how strong we can be, then second half we had a few players on the pitch having a little bit of a problem with the rhythm.
"We were in a really good moment before the second half of Southampton. So that half can't change too much -- we are in a really good way."
