# Liverpool: Fans react as Jurgen Klopp confirms Nathaniel Phillips is 100% fit

**Some Liverpool fans have been left delighted after Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Nathaniel Phillips is fit to face Southampton this weekend.**

The Reds are back in action on Saturday evening, with Saints making the trip to Anfield in the Premier League.

It has been a fortnight since Jurgen Klopp’s men were last in action, due to last weekend’s scheduled clash with Manchester United being postponed.

Liverpool simply have to beat Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side if they are to have any chance of finishing in the top four this season – even then, their chances still look slim.

Someone who hasn’t played since the 0-0 draw with Real Madrid last month is Phillips, who has been missing though [injury](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-fans-react-to-nathaniel-phillips-injury-news/), albeit being named in the initial team to face United last Sunday.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday, Klopp [confirmed](https://twitter.com/carlmarkham/status/1390633150783627264?s=20) that the 24-year-old is fit, firing and available for selection, with the last week further aiding his recovery.
