Fitness boost for Liverpool ahead of Inter Milan clash

Liverpool trio Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Roberto Firmino have all returned to training ahead of their Champions League last-16 second leg at home to Inter Milan.

A late decision will be taken on Firmino, who has not played since the first meeting with the Italians in mid-February because of a groin injury.

Liverpool provisional squad: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago, Salah, Jota, Mane, Kelleher, Adrian, Gomez, Konate, Tsimikas, Keita, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Elliott, Jones, Diaz, Minamino, Origi, Firmino.
