Liverpool look to have been dealt some good news on the injury front ahead of Saturday’s trip to Brentford.

The Reds had to make do without a number of first-team players at the weekend, struggling to overcome Burnley as a result. But overcome the Clarets they did, and they look set to be rewarded with some positive developments.

Both Joe Gomez and Alisson Becker missed Saturday’s match through illness. As per a video posted on Liverpool’s official X account today though, the defensive pair were back at the AXA Training Centre on Tuesday. Good news.

There was further sightings for Liverpool fans to be happy with, as well. After being injured since September, it’s still unclear when young Stefan Bajcetic is expected to make a return.

However, after he was seen geared up in full training kit today, that could now be close. Having been spotted arriving earlier in the video, Bajcetic was then kitted up while playing darts in the canteen with Bobby Clark. Encouraging signs.

This of course is not a definitive sign that Bajcetic is back available for Jurgen Klopp, or even that he’s back in training at all.

After five months out, it may take the 19-year-old a little while to get up to speed even when he is back on the grass.

But it is certainly a positive sign for a player who is said to have been getting frustrated with his rehabilitation. It’s been a long time without a game for Stefan.

In his absence it’s been easy to forget just how highly the teenager is rated at Anfield. Bajcetic has been earmarked for a really important role moving forwards.

This season, that has had to have been put completely on ice. With Liverpool’s midfield transforming, the former Celta Vigo talent looked set to play a big part in that. So far, that hasn’t happened.

Nevertheless, Klopp has never forgotten about Bajcetic. The manager described him as being an ‘incredible’ talent in November and clearly has a plan for him.

Whether Bajcetic is able to take advantage of that plan before Klopp leaves in the summer remains to be seen. But he’ll certainly be a brilliant option for the new manager coming in.

With other issues in midfield at the moment, Bajcetic’s return would be a timely boost for the Reds as they navigate an important part of the season.

Let’s wait for further updates before getting too excited. This is great to see, though.
