At last he can smile, the good news Klopp received ahead of facing Wolverhampton

Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool got two of their key players back just days before their UEFA Champions League last-16 clash with Real Madrid. The finalists of the last UEFA Champions League meet again, this time in the last 16 of the current edition. Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid and Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool meet again after that 1-0 win with a goal from Brazilian Vinícius Junior at the Stade de France on 28 May.

As for La Casa Blanca, the upcoming clash with Liverpool, although they will surely consider it the most important, is just one of eight or nine (if they qualify for the Club World Cup Final) that they will have to face in the next 28 days, between the match with Valencia in LaLiga on Thursday 2 February and the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against FC Barcelona.

On top of that, Real Madrid are losing players along the way in the face of so many overcrowded fixtures. For example, Ferland Mendy, who will probably be sidelined for the rest of the month due to a muscular discomfort, or Lucas Vázquez, who has yet to return after suffering a sprained right ankle, or even David Alaba, who has not played for Villarreal since 7 January due to a muscular problem.

Real Madrid have injured players

To make matters worse, it is Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League opponents, Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool, who are recovering from injury. The German coach was able to count on Virgil van Dijk (thigh strain) and Roberto Firmino (hamstring problem) from Thursday's practice, so everything indicates that they could possibly make it to the first leg at Anfield.
