Diogo Jota nears Liverpool return as Ian Doyle drops training update

Posted by

Liverpool could soon be set to welcome back a host of top talent into the squad with a positive update on Diogo Jota now coming from Ian Doyle.

The chief reporter for the Echo tweeted that the Portuguese international took part in another training session with Jurgen Klopp’s men as he eyes a return to the pitch sometime in February.

With Virgil van Dijk also posting an encouraging update on his personal Instagram account (Echo), the Reds will be hopeful of seeing a much-improved starting-XI filing out against Real Madrid in the first leg of their upcoming Round of 16 clash in the Champions League.

An instant improvement against the Toffees on Monday will be required to lift spirits ahead of a challenging four-day period that will see us face off against an in-form outfit (and our competition for a top four spot) in Newcastle United and Los Blancos.

Such is our European pedigree that we can never be truly written off in the greatest knockout competition on earth but fans will rightly be low on confidence if our next two league encounters fail to yield any points.
