The Englishman is set to take part in the Reds U23s matches with Everton o Derby but it will hardly keep him away from the first team for long.
With Liverpool midfielders having scored a total of 6 goals only, Ox's return couldn't be more timely. Before he picked up a horrendous knee ligament injury in the Champions League semi-final against AS Roma in April, he scored 5 goals and was the most dangerous part of Liverpool's midfield trio.
"Ox is doing 70 per cent of team training. He trains full but not as much as the others," Jurgen Klopp said prior to the Merseyside derby. "Then he leaves a bit early to do something else and the things he needs. Everyone is always looking for a reaction but nothing has happened yet. We have to prepare him for his entire career, not just one particular game."
The news delighted the Reds fans. 'Ox is the tonic for the title race'; 'It's like a new signing', Liverpool Live users commented under the post about the midfielder's return. Here are some most emotional reactions.
