Joe Gomez has returned to solo Liverpool training.
The centre-back posted an update on his Instagram from the AXA Training Centre on Tuesday, showing him running outside for the first time since his injury and playing with a football inside the gym in what is a huge step in his recovery progress.
The England international, who was in good spirits during his session, also took on some resistance band work, stepped over hurdles and used machines while training on his own as his journey back to full fitness continue.
Gomez suffered a serious knee injury during training with the Three Lions and was left needing surgery back in November.
He was pictured returning to Liverpool 's AXA Training Centre for the first time in January, undergoing rehabilitation on the knee with some light sessions in the gym and in the pool.
The Reds have sorely missed Gomez this season, with Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip also having been ruled out due to their own injury issues leaving Jurgen Klopp with no senior recognised centre-back.
And on Saturday, t he manager gave an injury update on all three players.
"It is not my decision [for the Euros] but to be honest the information I have in the moment is that it will be unlikely," Klopp said.
"So it is not that I don't let them go, because I don't want to have to do that any way, it is because of the extent of the injuries.
"We all hope they will be ready to start pre-season with us, that's what we all hope. With Joel it is pretty much the same.
"These are really serious injuries and it is now not about talking about which competition they play.
"As far as I know – and I am always open for positive surprises and they all of a sudden turn up in team training but no-one told me that.
"The two of them (Van Dijk and Gomez) look better than Joel as he is still in what looks like ski boots.
"Virgil is already running but this is a real tough one.
"We will be completely over the moon when they are ready to train with us for the start of pre-season but the Euros I didn't think about it.
"When do you have to be back to be ready to play in the Euros? The week before? The day the Euros start? I don't know.
"I understand maybe the need of that but we cannot make this decision and we will not. They will be fit when they are fit."
