Liverpool handed massive injury boosts ahead of clash against Leicester City

Liverpool have been handed a couple of injury boosts ahead of their clash against Leicester City. The Mirror reports that Fabinho has returned to light training and the medics are hopeful that the Brazilian will be fit to play against the Foxes.

The report adds that Georginio Wijnaldum should also be back in contention after missing the win over Crystal Palace.
