Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho takes part in a training session with Brazil and could be in line to feature against England despite concerns over a groin injury.

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho has stepped up his recovery from injury by taking part in a training session with Brazil.

The 25-year-old was included in Tite's squad for the upcoming friendlies against Japan and England despite concerns over a groin injury sustained during the Reds' 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Coutinho subsequently missed Liverpool's victories over Huddersfield Town, Maribor and West Ham United, while he has also been ruled out of Friday's clash with Japan in France.

However, having taken part in training this afternoon the playmaker looks increasingly likely to feature against England at Wembley on Tuesday.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is understood to be unhappy with plans to play Coutinho against Gareth Southgate's side amid fears that he could suffer another injury setback if he returns before he is fully fit.
