Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo will be available for his side\u2019s Europa League group match with Toulouse on Thursday, says manager Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old has been sidelined since picking up a knee injury in the\u00a0Reds\u2019 defeat at Tottenham\u00a0last month.<\/p>\n

Liverpool sit top of Group E following wins over LASK and Union Saint-Gilloise.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But Andy Robertson, Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic are all unavailable to face Toulouse at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Klopp said Robertson\u00a0has had an operation on a shoulder injury, while Thiago and Bajcetic are \u201cnot in team training\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cCody is in full training now since Sunday, which means he is available for the squad,\u201d Klopp added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever we do with that we will have to see, but that\u2019s good as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s opponents Toulouse\u00a0lifted the French Cup last season\u00a0\u2013 their first major trophy \u2013 but have won just three of 11 matches this campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cToulouse deserve all of our respect and it\u2019s a really interesting story of them winning the French Cup,\u201d added Klopp.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope we\u2019ll go long into the competition, but to do that you have to make decisive steps and tomorrow is one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
