Liverpool appear to have been handed a welcome injury boost with Andy Robertson.
The left-back suffered ligament damage in his ankle during the first half of the pre-season friendly win over Athletic Club earlier this month.
Jurgen Klopp said that Liverpool “got lucky” with the injury, after there were fears that it could have been much worse.
The club have yet to give an official timescale on Robertson’s return, but given the latest update that could be sooner than first thought.
In the latest round of training pictures released by the club, it showed Robertson already back on the pitch and running.
It must be stressed that the Scotland skipper was pictured on his own, meaning he is still in the early days of his recovery.
Robertson tweeted a picture of himself in training, accompanied by a caption featuring just the ‘eyes’ emoji
