Andy Robertson explains Liverpool dressing room reaction to Diogo Jota return

Andy Robertson says Diogo Jota's return to Liverpool training "brought a smile to everyone's face".

The Portugal winger was back in full team training at the AXA Training Centre this week, for the first time since suffering a knee injury at FC Midtjylland in December.

Jota's return was hailed as "really promising" by Jurgen Klopp and he could be involved in some capacity against Sheffield United this weekend.

The attacker, who arrived at Anfield in October, scored nine goals in 17 games before being sidelined and his return will come as a welcome boost for the Reds.

“In a really tough week for a few reasons, of course, seeing Diogo back on the pitch brought a smile to everyone’s face,” Robertson told the club's official website.

“He was flying up until his injury, he really made an impact coming into the team, a new signing hitting the ground running with goals, assists and the way he was going about his business.

“So, great to have him back. He has obviously been out for a long period of time, he’s looking really good in training, looking sharp. So, I’m sure he’s looking to make up for lost time.

“It’s good to have that option, great to have him back and it’ll be good to have him back involved in the squad. He has certainly brought an extra quality to training, long may that continue and hopefully he can score some of the goals he scored at the start of the season because, like I said, he was making a huge impact on this club.”
