How did this come about?
The 76-year-old had revealed the heartbreaking news in January of his fight with pancreatic cancer and his terminal diagnosis.

The head coach shared his adoration for Liverpool Football Club during recent interviews, along with his regret at having not managed the outfit.

Fan petitions followed online urging the club to get the Swede in the dugout for the upcoming legends clash. Jurgen Klopp even offered his colleague his office for the day to fulfil a lifelong wish.

We’re delighted that one of Eriksson’s greatest wishes will be granted in March.

‘Incredible’ Liverpool player spotted in full training kit today after being injured since September

Liverpool look to have been dealt some good news on the injury front ahead of Saturday’s trip to Brentford.

The Reds had to make do without a number of first-team players at the weekend, struggling to overcome Burnley as a result. But overcome the Clarets they did, and they look set to be rewarded with some positive developments.

Both Joe Gomez and Alisson Becker missed Saturday’s match through illness. As per a video posted on Liverpool’s official X account today though, the defensive pair were back at the AXA Training Centre on Tuesday. Good news.

There was further sightings for Liverpool fans to be happy with, as well. After being injured since September, it’s still unclear when young Stefan Bajcetic is expected to make a return.

However, after he was seen geared up in full training kit today, that could now be close. Having been spotted arriving earlier in the video, Bajcetic was then kitted up while playing darts in the canteen with Bobby Clark. Encouraging signs.

Bajcetic back involved
This of course is not a definitive sign that Bajcetic is back available for Jurgen Klopp, or even that he’s back in training at all.

After five months out, it may take the 19-year-old a little while to get up to speed even when he is back on the grass.

But it is certainly a positive sign for a player who is said to have been getting frustrated with his rehabilitation. It’s been a long time without a game for Stefan.

In his absence it’s been easy to forget just how highly the teenager is rated at Anfield. Bajcetic has been earmarked for a really important role moving forwards.

This season, that has had to have been put completely on ice. With Liverpool’s midfield transforming, the former Celta Vigo talent looked set to play a big part in that. So far, that hasn’t happened.

Nevertheless, Klopp has never forgotten about Bajcetic. The manager described him as being an ‘incredible’ talent in November and clearly has a plan for him.

Whether Bajcetic is able to take advantage of that plan before Klopp leaves in the summer remains to be seen. But he’ll certainly be a brilliant option for the new manager coming in.

With other issues in midfield at the moment, Bajcetic’s return would be a timely boost for the Reds as they navigate an important part of the season.

Let’s wait for further updates before getting too excited. This is great to see, though.

Liverpool get huge boost as 3 players return for first-team training
February 13, 2024
Joanna Durkan
After a couple of days off, the Liverpool squad were back at the training ground and they were boosted by the presence of three senior players after they missed Saturday’s match.

The win over Burnley saw Jurgen Klopp count his absences after illness, suspension, injury and bereavement all left him without several of his senior players.

Alisson and Joe Gomez were ruled out due to illness, while Conor Bradley remained in Northern Ireland following the sad passing of his father.

But on Tuesday, all three were spotted at the AXA Training Centre as the squad returned following a couple days off after their 3-1 victory at Anfield.

Klopp has been eager to stress that Bradley was under no pressure to return to Liverpool in any particular timeframe as he could have “as long as he needs with his family.”

The youngster has made his way back to Liverpool now, though, and will be involved in training with the rest of the available squad on Tuesday.

Whether that includes the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee), Ryan Gravenberch (groin), Mohamed Salah (hamstring) and Dominik Szoboszlai (hamstring) remains to be seen.

However, Gravenberch was spotted in Liverpool’s social media post, though it is still uncertain if he is fit to be involved after feeling something in his groin during Saturday’s warm up.

Nevertheless, the sightings of Alisson, Gomez and Bradley is a welcome one after Liverpool’s list of absences started to grow once more after initially appearing to ease.

With four days to go until the Reds’ next match at Brentford, Klopp has plenty of time to prepare his squad and perhaps welcome back others – which we may get more news on later on Tuesday when the team train outside.
