Adam Lallana has returned to Melwood for the latest step up in his recovery from a thigh injury.

The Liverpool midfielder has been out of action since sustaining the issue in the Audi Cup final at the beginning of August, with the initial prognosis suggesting the No.20 would be sidelined for ‘a couple of months’.

Last week, Lallana travelled to Qatar as part of his rehabilitation and stated he feels he is ‘getting stronger each and every day’ before sharing footage of work with the ball via his official Instagram account.

And the 29-year-old is now back on Merseyside and with the medical team at Melwood as he continues towards the goal of availability for selection by Jürgen Klopp.
