Joel Matip and Curtis Jones were both pictured in training on Monday after missing the last three and four games respectively, in what is a huge injury boost for Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp surmised Liverpool’s injury woes a couple of weeks back as though “we had a witch in the building,” one that has not been quick to leave the premises
But after the feel-good 9-0 win over Bournemouth, the new week got off to a good start with training images showing both Matip and Jones working outside, with Calvin Ramsay also present.
Before the weekend’s match, Klopp revealed that Matip and Jones were the next in line to return, with Thiago “not too far away” either.
While the Spaniard’s rehabilitation continues away from the full group, having two senior figures injected back into the team is exactly what the Reds need ahead of a 19-game run in just 73 days.
Nevertheless, he looks to be making positive steps toward finally being integrated into Klopp’s side following his summer transfer.
Harvey Elliott undertook an individual session after a minor complaint saw him withdrawn at halftime on Saturday, and the manager was quick to say at the time that he “should be completely fine.”
Klopp will provide a more in-depth update on the injury status of his squad in Tuesday’s pre-Newcastle press conference.
