Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho (left) could play against Burnley
Coutinho didn’t play for Liverpool before the transfer window closed, supposedly because of a bad back.
He appeared twice for Brazil during the international break, with the national team doctor claiming he wasn’t injured but was suffering from stress related to Barcelona’s transfer interest.
He missed last weekend’s 5-0 defeat at Manchester City and came on in the 76th minute against Sevilla on Wednesday.
Sadio Mane’s absence through suspension means there is a spot open in the Liverpool attack tomorrow.
And Jurgen Klopp says Coutinho is now ready to start.

“You can build up, you can get minutes when you start,” Klopp said.
“It’s not the moment I talk about the line up of tomorrow, but he should be ready.
“I was really happy with how the crowd welcomed him (against Sevilla). For him it was good.
“He has trained outstanding since he’s back.
“The game was not perfect of course, but it helped him and helped us.”
