Fans of Liverpool have been reacting to Paul Joyce’s post on Twitter, in which The Times correspondent reports that Joe Gomez and James Milner will be available for selection for the FA Cup tie against Chelsea this Tuesday.
Milner, who has made 17 league appearances for Liverpool this season, missed five games with a hamstring injury prior to playing six minutes against Norwich, before missing out on the Reds’ last two fixtures due to a slight muscle strain.
Meanwhile, Gomez, who missed last weekend’s shock 3-0 loss to Watford through a minor fitness concern, will be available for selection for Jurgen Klopp in Tuesday night’s FA Cup fixture against Chelsea.
Speaking to the media on Monday, Klopp stated: “No new ones [injuries], I think. Joe and Millie are back. The others aren’t.”
In reaction to the news, Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter, with many warmly welcoming back the duo.
Joe Gomez and James Milner available again for Liverpool v Chelsea.

What do we think?
Liverpool will certainly be glad to welcome the experience of Milner and the talent of Gomez back to the side following their disastrous performance against Watford.
However, with Klopp not previously putting out anything near his strongest side in previous FA Cup fixtures, it remains unclear as to whether the returning duo will actually feature in the match.
