Jurgen Klopp welcomes 'new signings' as four return to Liverpool training

Philippe Coutinho is consoled by Jurgen Klopp after injuring a hamstring at Stoke on January 5

Four Liverpool players will return to training this week, and Jurgen Klopp is calling them "our new signings".

Philippe Coutinho, Martin Skrtel and Divock Origi are all ready to step up their comebacks from injury, while Daniel Sturridge is also due to participate at Melwood.

Klopp also confirmed there are unlikely to be any new arrivals at the club before the transfer window closes

Skrtel has missed five weeks with a hamstring injury, while Coutinho suffered a similar problem at Stoke on January 5.

Hamstring and knee problems have sidelined Origi since Boxing Day while fellow striker Sturridge has been unable to train consistently and has started just four times this season.

Klopp said:"Skrtel needs two or three days more before returning to training. Sturridge should return to training on Wednesday, Origi and Coutinho on Thursday. These are our new signings."

Liverpool held talks with Shakhtar Donetsk this month about a move for Alex Teixeira, but a fee could not be agreed and Sky sources say a third bid is unlikely before the deadline.

Klopp confirmed as much at his press conference ahead of Tuesday's trip to Leicester, saying: "I don't think something will happen in terms of incomings."

Liverpool played nine times in January, and the Leicester game is the first of seven February fixtures, but Klopp said: "I'm not here to complain about schedule. Everything is okay. The only problem we had was injuries and lots of games - that didn't fit.

"I like the character of the boys. No complaints about lack of time off. They are all really professional and that's good news for all Liverpool fans."

The Reds are one of only two sides to beat leaders Leicester in this season's Premier League, and Klopp said: "They have a plan but we know about it. I praised them but we aren't the supporters club of Leicester. We want to go there and challenge them."
