Liverpool midfielder touch and go for Newcastle clash

Ross Gibson

Liverpool midfielder James Milner is a minor doubt ahead of the visit of Newcastle with a knock sustained in last week’s win over West Ham.

Captain Jordan Henderson is likely to return to the starting line-up after being rested at the weekend while Danny Ings has recovered from a cold to rejoin the squad.

Midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum and youngster Ben Woodburn are still struggling with illness while defender Nathaniel Clyne needs to sharpen up his match fitness after a first competitive outing of the season for the under-23s.
