He was replaced at half-time of the win at the John Smith's Stadium after picking up a hamstring injury.

Speaking on Tuesday afternoon, Klopp said: 'Sadio's good in training. He trained normal. If nothing happens he is in contention. 
'Naby will not be available, Hendo not as well. We have to see check Naby day by day. 
'We have to see when he's fully fit. It should not be that long.
'Hendo got a little hamstring injury in the game (against Huddersfield). I understand not too serious but serious that he is not available tomorrow or the weekend.'
