Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with the return to full fitness of Joe Gomez.

Gomez will likely miss Sunday's showdown with Spurs, but his manager believes a painful near four month injury nightmare will make him stronger on his return for charge towards glory.

“Yesterday Joe Gomez was like Christmas, birthday, everything in his face. You could see it, brilliant," Klopp said.

“When there are setbacks you are like; 'Come on, there will be better times' but the boys have to go through a lot of darker days pretty much alone with their families and friends.

“You cannot change it. There is no alternative to rehab."
