Jurgen Klopp expects to have Dejan Lovren back in training next week ahead of Liverpool's Monday Night Football game at Leicester on February 27.

Last month's FA Cup defeat to Wolves means the Reds are without a game this weekend, and Klopp took the opportunity to organise warm-weather training in Spain.

Lovren was left behind for treatment on the knee injury that has kept him out for two games, while Marko Grujic was another to miss out.

But Klopp said: "Hopefully, especially Dejan can come back to training after we come back on Sunday, that would be great.

"Same for Marko Grujic, who is close but not close enough to make the sessions with us. It's not nice for a player when you're close but you see this.

"That was the decision of the medical department. Of course we have here exactly the same possibilities in the medical department and we have fantastic people at home and they can take care of the players, which makes more sense."

Klopp has used Lucas Leiva at centre-back in Lovren's absence, while Grujic's hamstring injury has kept him out since late last year.
