Adam Lallana remains driving force for Liverpool, says Jürgen Klopp

• England international expected to start against Porto
• Mistakes were made in Lallana’s injury comeback, Klopp admits

Jürgen Klopp has assured Adam Lallana he remains key to Liverpool’s aspirations this season and admitted mistakes were made in the midfielder’s return from injury.

Lallana has endured an injury-plagued campaign and has not started a game since the FA Cup win against Everton two months ago. He is expected to begin Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Porto, with Liverpool taking a 5-0 lead into the second leg of the last-16 meeting, having been restricted to the substitutes’ bench recently as Klopp’s team impressed in Europe and the Premier League.
