Cody Gakpo has been included in the Liverpool squad for their Champions League round of 16 tie at Paris Saint-Germain.
Concern had been raised over the fitness of Gakpo after he failed to feature in the open training session at the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby on Tuesday morning.
Gakpo missed two games after sustaining a foot injury in the 2-2 draw at Everton last month and has subsequently been restricted to two cameos from the bench in the Premier League wins at Manchester City and at home to Newcastle United.
But the Holland international was part of the 24-man squad that flew to France on Tuesday afternoon to prepare for the showdown with PSG at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening.

Nevertheless, Slot will have a decision to make over whether to recall Gakpo on the left flank, with Luis Diaz having impressed in the position in the last two games and Diogo Jota starting down the centre of attack against Newcastle.
Academy goalkeeper Harvey Davies and young midfielders James McConnell and Trey Nyoni are also in the squad.

As expected, defenders Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley along with midfielder Tyler Morton haven't travelled as they continue their rehabilitation from injury.
Gomez is expected to be sidelined for a lengthy period after an operation on a hamstring problem, Bradley faces a race against time to be available for the League Cup final against Newcastle United on March 16 with a similar injury while Morton is unlikely to play again this season after shoulder surgery.
LIVERPOOL SQUAD v PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN: Alisson, Kelleher, Jaros, Davies, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Endo, McConnell, Szoboszlai, Jones, Elliott, Nyoni, Salah, Chiesa, Jota, Nunez, Gakpo, Diaz.
