Virgil van Dijk has returned to Liverpool training alongside two of his teammates in a major boost for under-pressure Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds suffered another chastening defeat - their seventh in 20 Premier League games this season - as they were mauled 3-0 by Wolves last Saturday. The loss left them 10th in the table, with hopes of Champions League qualification quickly fading for Klopp's out-of-sorts side.
However, small green shoots are emerging for the Merseysiders, who will welcome many injured players back to the fold before February is out. Van Dijk's return is especially timely for a defence which has leaked goals at an alarming rate since the turn of the year.
