Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hopes to be able to return to work today less than 48 hours after an operation to remove his appendix.

The German missed Saturday's 2-2 draw at home to Sunderland as he was undergoing surgery in the afternoon after being taken to Aintree Hospital after becoming ill.

Klopp has expressed his desire to return to normal duties at the club's Melwood training ground today and could address the media at a scheduled 2pm press conference to preview Liverpool's FA Cup fourth round replay at West Ham on Tuesday.
