Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that playmaker Philippe Coutinho will be available for Saturday's match against Arsenal.

The 21-year-old had not played since he injured his shoulder against Swansea last month.

But Rodgers made it clear that the Brazilian will play some part at The Emirates.

He said: "He's been given the all clear by the specialist to come in. He’s been training for the last few weeks, so he’ll be back into the squad."
