Jurgen Klopp has a fully-fit squad once again as his side arrive in Italy ahead of their Champions League clash with Inter Milan.
The Liverpool boss was practically spoilt for choice when the Reds faced off against Burnley at the weekend and 25 players have been pictured landing in Milan.
Curtis Jones, Takumi Minamino, Joe Gomez and Divock Origi all missed out at Turf Moor on Saturday but were pictured arriving in Italy with the rest of their team-mates.
In his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, Klopp confirmed that he had all options at his disposal.

“It (fully fit squad) is a good situation to have, no doubt about that, but I don’t know how often I have to say it is much more important how we play than who is playing,” the Liverpool boss admitted.
“It helps we have solutions for different problems, options for different situations.
“That’s what we try to use, we need fresh legs for this game, but much more important is that we have the chance to make five changes, a massive boost for football in general in a really tough period of the year.
“It is good to have the boys around but the boys have to deal with it as well. I have the opportunity to make more changes, that’s how it is.”
Such is the current competition for places at the club, all four of Curtis Jones, Takumi Minamino, Joe Gomez and Divock Origi were left off the bench against Burnley.
Asked about Jordan Henderson’s fitness after the Liverpool skipper was substituted around the hour mark on Sunday, Klopp insisted that the 31-year-old had not suffered any long-term damage.
“Hendo's fine. He got a knock on his knee. Today was a second day of recovery for a lot of players, for him as well, so it wasn't the longest session for him,” the Reds boss said.
“Apart from that, there is no issues really. It was his back last week and his knee in the game was definitely not comfortable.
“It's a proper wound. You can really see it, it looks like lips. It shouldn't be there. Apart from that, he is fine.”
And the 54-year-old was also asked about the boost Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah had given to his attacking options, following their return from the Africa Cup of Nations.
The attacking duo both started against Burnley with the Reds boss describing the pair as a “force of nature” - as well as affording him the luxury to leave new signing Luis Diaz on the bench.
Liverpool head into their round of 16 game against Inter on Wednesday looking to extend their perfect record in the Champions League this season, having taken maximum points during the group stage.
Liverpool's available squad options:
Goalkeepers: Alisson, Kelleher, Adrian
Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Konate, Gomez, Robertson, Tsimikas
Midfielders: Fabinho, Thiago, Milner, Keita, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Elliott
Attackers: Firmino, Mane, Salah, Minamino, Jota, Diaz, Origi
