Liverpool have been hit hard by injuries all season long but have remained in the Premier League hunt somehow.
The Reds have seen big injuries to players like Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota, and Curtis Jones affect their season at different points. Others, such as Joel Matip, have also struggled while Trent Alexander-Arnold is still struggling as well.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has managed things well though. And with Arsenal playing Man City this weekend, there’s a real chance for the Reds to take advantage.
Liverpool host Brighton in a game they’ll fancy winning.
And while the Reds do still have some injury problems, it looks like there’s some good news for Liverpool fans to savour ahead of the clash.
Video shows positive Liverpool injury update
Liverpool hosted an open training session this week as some fans and media got to witness a behind the scenes look at the Reds ahead of Brighton.
As part of that session, Jurgen Klopp told a fan when Alisson Becker is expected to be back.
And in another video doing the rounds, shared by The Redmen TV, it looks like there is more positive news on the injury front for the Reds, this time with Diogo Jota.
In the clip, injured forward Jota can be seen doing a pretty intensive running drill which, crucially, includes some minor ball work as well.
Jota, a £41m signing from Wolves, went down in February and Jurgen Klopp said at the time he’d be out for ‘months.
However, if this clip is anything to go by, then Jota might well be back sooner than people thought.
Diogo Jota return is massive for Liverpool
When Jota went down injured, it was a disaster really at the time for Liverpool and Klopp.
The Portuguese forward had become essential in the front three and was in good form. His injury looked serious as well and looking back, there were fears he might not be back for many games this term.
However, the clip on display here shows Jota cannot be far away. He is sprinting, turning, controlling and playing the ball. He’s pretty much doing everything.
If Jota can somehow get back for the run-in, it will feel like a new signing for Liverpool.
And in the end, one that might just make the difference in the title race.
