Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho is expected to be fit for Jurgen Klopp's first game in charge of the team following the German's appointment as manager last week.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss, who replaced Brendan Rodgers just four days after the Northern Irishman was sacked, will take on Tottenham Hotspur this Saturday in his first Premier League game.

There were doubts over Coutinho's fitness as the 23-year-old was forced to withdraw from the Brazil squad last week due to injury, but according to talkSPORT, the playmaker took part in training at Melwood today and is likely to feature at the weekend.

The majority of Liverpool's first-team players were not present in Klopp's debut training session as they remain on international duty.

Coutinho's future at Anfield has been a talking point in the last few days amid reports that he is wanted by Barcelona and Real Madrid, but the player's agent recently claimed that his client has no intention of leaving the club.
