Liverpool received a big boost as two key players returned to training ahead of their clash with Newcastle. The spirits were high as both Mac Allister and Diogo Jota beamed with enthusiasm during their comeback session.

There is a more immediate injury return that will be a major boost for Jürgen Klopp right at the perfect time. As well as losing Mohamed Salah to AFCON, Wataru Endō will also be heading to the Asia Cup, with the latter having been the sole number six in the Reds’ squad in recent weeks.

But just as Diogo Jota made a timely return to deputize for Salah when he leaves, Endō departing could match up with Alexis Mac Allister coming back into the fold. It remains to be seen if the Argentine will make it back in time to face Newcastle, but he is edging closer having been out since the win at Sheffield United.

The return of these two influential players injects fresh energy into the Liverpool squad, providing a timely boost as they prepare to face Newcastle. Fans will be eagerly looking forward to witnessing their talents on display and hoping for a positive outcome in the upcoming game.
