Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has returned to training, to hand the Reds a huge boost in their title race.
Gomez has been out with a lower-leg fracture since December, when Liverpool won at Turf Moor against Burnley.
The England defender is working individually as he carries on his rehabilitation, but manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Gomez is ever-closer to full fitness.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Klopp said:
"It is nice - Joe is not injured anymore and nearly fit. He will not be in the afternoon training session because he has to something else - he has to work on his endurance, that's how it is and how the boys always have to do it, like Ox (Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain) had to do it when he was finally back in training.
"After a long time, I think Joe was out for 15 weeks, that is long, so he needs to now create the basis again for the rest of the season."
