Liverpool handed injury BOOST as Simon Mignolet declares match fitness
LIVERPOOL have been handed a boost with the return of goalkeeper Simon Mignolet from injury.
Simon Mignolet is back to full fitness despite an ankle injury
The Anfield shot-stopper had fans worried on Monday when he tweeted an image of his swollen ankle, saying he hoped to have it sorted in time for tomorrow's international game between Belgium and Cyprus.
However, the Belgian number one put any doubts about his fitness to bed with a second tweet this morning showing him in full action on the training ground.

The 27-year-old said: "Back to full fitness since yesterday. Gym training this morning, last before Belgium v Cyrpus later today."
The news will also come as a relief to Brendan Rodgers who will now have his first choice keeper available for the key Premier League showdown with Arsenal next Saturday.
Always nice to be back with @BelRedDevils first we get this ankle sorted before Saturdays game! #belcyp pic.twitter.com/QIvNEBKyai
