Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana will be fit to face Huddersfield Town after the international break, according to reports in the English media.
The 30-year-old injured his groin on international duty back in September, but he will be in contention for the trip to the John Smiths’ Stadium.
Fans on Twitter believe this could be Lallana’s final chance to get his place back in the first-team:
Will be an asset if he stays fit for the rest of the season.

Others had forgotten that he was still a Liverpool player due to the number of injuries he has sustained in recent seasons:

Lallana’s return could be timely for manager Jurgen Klopp with James Milner having been ruled out for a month with a hamstring injury.
The Reds vice-captain had to be replaced by Naby Keita mid-way through the first half in the 0-0 draw against Manchester City on Sunday.
With Fabinho still adapting to Klopp’s methods, Lallana is likely to be in a straight fight between him and Keita to line up alongside Georginio Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson’s in Liverpool’s midfield.
