“That’s another thing to do, make a decision. It’s then all about fitness levels, form and shape.”
Klopp’s comments suggest that both Keita and Henderson will have their work cut out getting back into the starting XI, having just recovered from hamstring problems.
Fabinho has impressed after waiting patiently for his Liverpool debut, while James Milner and Georginio Wijnaldum have been consistent performers so far this season.

Competition for places may be even fiercer if Klopp abandons his favoured 4-3-3 formation for a more attacking 4-2-3-1 against Fulham this weekend.

Meanwhile, Klopp also confirmed that Joe Gomez is fit to play after reports of an ankle injury.
