ADAM LALLANA has arrived with the Liverpool squad at Anfield ahead of tonight's (8pm) clash with Manchester United.
The 28-year-old has been a major injury doubt ahead of the game but manager Jurgen Klopp refused to rule him out.
And it appears he has won his fitness battle by joining up with his team-mates.
The Liverpool squad including captain Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane, Emre Can and Joel Matip were spotted arriving at Anfield this lunchtime.
But Georginio Wijnaldum was not with his team-mates which could mean he's lost his fitness race.
The Holland midfielder limped off with a hamstring injury in the Netherlands' 1-0 defeat to France last week.
At his pre-match press conference, Klopp said he wanted to give Lallana and Wijnaldum as much time as possible to get fit.
He said: "[They are] not too bad but it's a question of perspective, I would say.
"In this moment, we don't know exactly who is available. We all know about the obvious issues with Gini and Adam but they are both not ruled out for Monday.
"Four sessions to go sounds long, but [it's] only four sessions to go, so we have to see.
"I don't have to make a decision now, so I can wait until I make my final decision and we will have a really good team on the pitch I'm sure."
