Even stronger for rest of the season.

What do we think
Whether or not he will decide to use any of them in the match is yet to be seen, but just having the options to use them is a great thing. As well as the three fit players, to hear that Dejan Lovren is also training in solo sessions is also a big boost, as he’s averaged the seventh highest rating (WhoScored) in the Premier League for the Reds this season.
Joel Matip had Ian Wright drooling over him earlier on in the season and Fabinho has also caught the eye of a pundit in the form of Paul Merson, so their hard work prior to injury didn’t go unnoticed.
The Liverpool fans will now be hoping to get through the second half of the season with as few injuries as possible.
