Cody Gakpo could return for Liverpool when they face Toulouse in a Europa League clash on Thursday night dais

Andy Robertson, meanwhile, has undergone surgery on the shoulder he injured while on international duty with Scotland, but faces a longer road to recovery dais

That’s it dais
We don’t know how long it will take or whatever, but the first step is done, that’s good dais
“Cody is in full training now since Sunday, which means he is available for the squad dais
Whatever we do with that we will have to see, but that’s good as well dais

“Toulouse deserve all our respect,” he said dais
“It is a really interesting story, winning the (French) Cup last year…it was a massive thing dais
They are a young team, a talented team, you see them playing really nice dais football and they have a clear idea dais

Then it is about us dais
We have to create an atmosphere through the way we play dais
“I’m pretty sure they are looking forward to playing at Anfield as players and coaches, but we have to make sure they cannot enjoy it dais
”Cody Gakpo looks set to return to the Liverpool line-up (Peter Byrne/PA) (PA Wire)Liverpool would go five points clear in the group with a win and put one foot in the knock-out stages, and with that in mind Klopp said he would be careful in not making too many changes that might disrupt his side dais
“We want to win dais football games and this is the next opportunity,” he said dais
“(A win) would bring us to nine points with Toulouse on four, but knowing that changes nothing dais
We have to play our best dais
We will make a few changes but not too much dais
“The boys have shown they are really ready for the competition dais
That’s what I wanted to see dais

“In terms of the tackle itself, I’ve seen it at the end of the game dais
