Curtis Jones & 6 more Reds who haven't played much recently 'in contention' to start v Soton — but not Minamino

According to reliable reporter Paul Joyce, 

 are all 'in contention' to start against Southampton on Tuesday.

Liverpool played 120 minutes against Chelsea in the FA Cup final and many players are in need of rest ahead of the Wolves game on Sunday.

 is absent from the list — the Japanese has done well in the limited time he's had and definitely deserves a chance to prove he's good enough for the first team.

Jurgen Klopp gives squad fitness update ahead of Southampton clash

 has shared updates on the fitness of the squad ahead of 

 in the penultimate game of the League season.

“This process has not finished yet because we only played the 120 minutes two days ago.

“So when the boys arrive today I have to make a lot of decisions. Then we will line up a team. What I can promise and definitely say is we will line up a team only for one reason: to try to win the game at Southampton. As difficult as it is. Because that obviously is the job to do.

“We have to see who is able to help. The 30 extra minutes [at Wembley] made a big difference, but we have to see.”

When asked about Fabinho's status he responded: “Very well, but he will not be involved tomorrow. But very good.”

Klopp on Diaz: 'We hugged after the game and just shouted few words I know in Spanish ... But he gets our football 100%'

"What a boy, what a story, what a player – but he should have scored! I think we agree, he agrees probably," 

"So the speed he has is insane. Not to forget, he played on the side of Chalobah and Reece James and getting in a situation like this is absolutely unlikely. 

"The big chance he had in the first half, I think it was a pass from Trent – if you want, we can talk about his performance as well, by the way – and he should have scored in that moment with his quality. That's how it is. 

"But what a player. He's outstanding. He's a fantastic boy. 

"It's so funny, so we hug each other after the game and just shout vamos and whatever, the few words I know in a similar language. It's so funny. But he gets our football 100 per cent. 

"We thought we saw that at Porto but that it's really like this, I feel really lucky as well, to be honest. He fits like a glove to our football and that's really, really special."

Diaz kept Chelsea defenders on their toes throughout the game and won the official Man of the Match award. However, his finishing let him down but put that aside and it was an excellent display.

Many fans thought it would take time for the Colombian to adapt to Liverpool because of language barrier and difference between leagues but he's hit the ground running since day one.
