Liverpool are on the brink of a significant boost as key players return to training, enhancing their prospects in the Premier League and Europa League.
Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Stefan Bajcetic are making strides towards availability, potentially fortifying Jurgen Klopp's squad for end of season run-in.
Depending on how things go, Liverpool could still add another two trophies to the Carabao Cup they won in late February.
The imminent European clash against Atalanta and the upcoming game against Crystal Palace could feature the comeback of some of these vital squad members.
Jota's near two-month absence since a February injury may end with a possible return against Atalanta, according to the Liverpool Echo, signaling a timely reinforcement for Liverpool's attacking line.
Klopp expressed optimism regarding Jota and Alexander-Arnold's readiness, highlighting their intensive training regimen in recent weeks.
Alexander-Arnold, sidelined with a knee injury since early February, alongside Jota, might see action in the Europa League tie, possibly off the bench, as Klopp evaluates their match fitness for the upcoming challenges.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker is also on the cusp of a return, having resumed team training alongside his teammates, with Klopp carefully considering their reintegration into match play for optimal impact.
While the return dates for Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, Joel Matip, and Ben Doak range from imminent to uncertain, their gradual return to fitness will be crucial for Liverpool's ambitions across all fronts. Bajcetic, in particular, may see U21 action as part of his phased comeback.
