Mignolet: Liverpool have been unlucky with injuries

Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana and Philippe Coutinho should all return to full fitness following the international break, something which gives the Belgian stopper confidence going forward.

'I think we've been a bit unfortunate with the injuries and the suspensions,' he told Liverpool's official website.

'If you have three of those kind of players injured at the same time then it's obviously a tough thing to deal with, but at the same time the squad's stayed calm underneath it.

'Hopefully after the international break they will be pushing the rest of the squad forward by adding in the goals and giving us a bigger platform to go from.'

Mane played 77 minutes of the win over West Ham at the weekend as he continues his recovery from a hamstring problem, whilst Lallana is expected to feature in a friendly next week as he closes in on a first team return following a thigh issue.

Coutinho meanwhile has joined up with the Brazil squad for their friendlies against England and Japan, with the Brazil doctor confident that the player will be able to play some part against England.

The return of the trio could not be timed better, with Jurgen Klopp's side facing a period of 13 games in 45 days and Mignolet believes that their eagerness to get back playing will give the team a huge boost.

'If you get players like them coming back and being fresh after not playing much recently, that can give not only a boost to the team, but also a boost to them individually,' he explained.

'They will be raring to go and very eager to get on the pitch and score the goals they've wanted to because they've been missing out.

'I'm sure they will be ready for any battle that comes ahead of them when we come back after the international break.'
