Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has revealed his delight at being able to welcome back both Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson from long-term injuries.
Both of the key Reds players made a return to action during the club's slender 1-0 win over Swansea City in the Premier League, and Klopp has insisted that having them back in contention will be important going forward.
"It was good news for the big Liverpool family," Klopp told reporters after the match.
"They are two very important players for us and they're back in the race.
"They did well for their situation and from where they've come from after a long break with difficult injuries. Now they are back and that's really good for us."
Liverpool currently hold sixth spot in the Premier League standings after 14 games of the campaign.
