Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has returned to training ahead of a key few days in their season.
The Guinea international missed the last two matches - both defeats - with a hip injury but is now back in training.
He took a full part in Thursday's session and is in contention to return for Saturday's visit of Bournemouth as Jurgen Klopp's side bid to end a run of three defeats in four matches.
More significantly, Keita's return gives Klopp an important option in midfield as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit at home to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last-16, second-leg tie on Wednesday.
The Premier League leaders have also suffered recent defeats to Chelsea in the FA Cup and Watford in the Premier League, the latter being their first league defeat of the campaign.
Keita has made 18 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring a goal each in the Premier League, Champions League and Club World Cup.
He has faced two spells out this season including August and September and the bulk of January with a groin strain.
