He added: “The two players are in good shape, and our goal is to be with us at the end of the week,
to be available to take part against Wolves in the last round of the Premier League.”
Klopp explained: “Players may be involved as substitutes for a few minutes or only be on the bench.
I don’t know, but they will certainly be available in the Champions League final. ”
