Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has provided a positive update on two injured defenders, with Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni edging closer to their returns.
Gomez is expected to resume training with the first team next week, putting him in contention to return to action soon. Meanwhile, Leoni could begin training with the squad during the upcoming international break.
However, there is still a longer wait ahead for Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike, who are recovering from more serious injuries.
The return of Gomez and Leoni would give Iraola much-needed defensive depth as Liverpool prepare for a busy period of Premier League, domestic cup and European fixtures.
