Liverpool’s injury crisis is finally showing signs of easing, with Jurgen Klopp confirming that Diogo Jota is set to return to training later this week.
The Reds’ start to the season has been undermined by fitness issues, with, at times, as many as 10 senior players missing during their opening four games, while Darwin Nunez is serving a three-match suspension for headbutting Joachim Andersen. Liverpool are preparing to face Newcastle United on Wednesday night at Anfield and Klopp had some much-needed good news to share in his pre-match press conference.
"I think Diogo [Jota] can train from Thursday on," he said on Tuesday. "Thiago [Alcantara] I think, slightly later. We'll see. Calvin [Ramsay] is getting closer. Caoimhin Kelleher, I saw walking outside for goalkeeper training. So there is light at the end of the tunnel, definitely.”
