Liverpool defender Joel Matip says he is fit to face Manchester United on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.

The centre-back missed Liverpool's final two games before the international break as a result of a knock he sustained at Sheffield United last month.

"I'm back in training and hopefully I will stay fit," he told the club's website. "I'm back in training and I feel good. Of course, if I'm needed, I will be there.

"Injuries [happen] to a player. Now I'm back, I hope I stay fit and I can focus on the positives."

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson also returned to training this week for the first time since being forced off in the 39th minute of the 4-1 win over Norwich at Anfield on the opening day of the season.
