Huge Boost For Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool Star Returns To Training

Liverpool have received a much-needed injury boost as their first-choice centre-back Joel Matip is expected  to play against West Ham United on Saturday.

The Cameroonian has become an integral part of Jurgen Klopp’s team with his solid displays at the back and is one of the prime reasons for Liverpool’s good defensive performance in recent times. One can take a measure of his importance for the Reds from the fact that Liverpool’s leaky defence has conceded the same number of goals in the three matches he has missed, that is nine, – as they have in the 11 in which he has played.

Not only that, the Reds have not a single game in his presence. In his absence, the Merseyside outfit has conceded 10 goals in only five games. Liverpool’s unbeaten record was broken on Sunday when Bournemouth came from behind to beat them 4-3. In Matip’s absence, the Reds conceded the last three goals in the last quarter of an hour.

Liverpool’s unbeaten run came to an end on Sunday when Bournemouth came from behind to beat them 4-3. In Matip’s absence, the Reds conceded the last three goals in the last quarter of an hour.

But now, the former Schalke defender has returned to training and was a part of the squad that was practising in Barcelona and should be available for the next match.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will be looking to get back to winning ways against the struggling Hammers. After the defeat to the Cherries, the Reds are third in the Premier League table, 4 points adrift of table-toppers Chelsea and a point shy of second-placed Arsenal.
