Liverpool fans have been gushing on Twitter over the latest of defender Joel Matip.
This comes after the official Liverpool Twitter account shared a post on their page of a picture of Matip in a recent training session.
This post then sent a lot of Liverpool fans into a frenzy by replying with their excitement to see the centre-half again.
Who should partner Virgil van Dijk in defence?
Joe Gomez
Joel Matip
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans drooling over the image of Matip:

The defender has not featured for Jurgen Klopp’s side since October after picking up a knee injury in their 1-1 draw against Manchester United. But now that an image has been posted of Matip back in training, it has got a lot of Liverpool fans excited over his imminent return to the team.
Massive, massive boost!

What do we think?
With Dejan Lovren also out injured recently, Liverpool have had Virgil van Dijk, Nat Phillips and Joe Gomez as their only fit senior centre-back’s. But now that Matip is looking to make a return to full match fitness soon, he will provide a huge boost for the Liverpool defence.
The post gave no inclination as to when Matip would be ready to play again, but a lot of Liverpool fans will be hoping to see the defender play again as soon as possible.
