Liverpool are back in action in less than two days’ time and we received a timely update on the squad from training, while a famous face made a visit to Kirkby once more.
3 Reds back in training!
With international action now behind us, Liverpool have reconvened for training and we received welcome updates on the injury front as a result.
Caoimhin Kelleher, Ibrahima Konate and Calvin Ramsay were all pictured in Thursday’s training session, all of whom have not featured so far this season.
It’s a huge boost with 13 games to be played in the space of 42 days. They’ll need time to get up to speed but it’s a significant step forward.
And while neither Curtis Jones nor Andy Robertson were involved in training, they are not expected to be out for too much longer.

Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez, meanwhile, were not pictured in the session but were all heavily involved for their country during the break and will likely have been granted extra time to rest or were undergoing individual work in the gym.
It makes for more positive news than we’ve received so far this season and the hope is Jurgen Klopp will offer more welcome updates in his pre-Brighton press conference on Friday afternoon.
