Liverpool have received a significant boost as they prepare for the final stretch of the Premier League season, with four key players returning to team training. The Reds are looking to end the season strongly, with only eight games left in the league until the end of the campaign.
Jurgen Klopp’s side had a disappointing outing against Manchester United over the weekend, as a combination of poor finishing and a defensive mistake cost them maximum points. The result saw them lose their buffer at the summit of the standings, as they dropped to second place.
However, the return of Diogo Jota, Alisson, and Stefan Bajcetic to training has given the Reds a major lift. While Alexander-Arnold, Jota, and Alisson have featured this season, Spanish youngster Bajcetic is yet to make a single appearance due to injury.
