LIVERPOOL RECEIVE MAJOR INJURY BOOST AHEAD OF MAN CITY CLASH
Liverpool have received encouraging injury news ahead of their crucial Premier League showdown against Manchester City, with Jeremy Jacquet spotted back in full team training.
The French defender’s return is a welcome boost for head coach Andoni Iraola as the Reds prepare for Sunday’s blockbuster encounter at Anfield.
Jacquet was seen taking part in outdoor training sessions with his teammates on Thursday, raising hopes that he could be available for the highly anticipated clash.
The 21-year-old had sparked concerns after suffering a minor left hamstring strain while on international duty with France. He subsequently missed France’s 4-1 victory over Belgium, leaving Liverpool worried about his fitness.
However, early assessments suggest the injury may not be as serious as initially feared, with his return to training providing positive signs ahead of the weekend.
Jacquet has impressed since arriving at Anfield this summer, quickly developing a strong partnership with captain Virgil van Dijk. His composure, aerial strength, positioning and recovery pace have made him an important part of Liverpool’s defence.
His potential availability could prove vital against Manchester City’s dangerous attacking players, especially with Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo still facing fitness concerns after missing training.
Liverpool will now hope Jacquet completes the remaining preparations without any setbacks, giving Iraola another valuable defensive option for Sunday’s massive Premier League showdown.
