Liverpool are in the thick of a battle to lift the Premier League and Europa League come the end of the season and their chances could be bolstered by the return of three key stars

Liverpool stars Diogo Jota, Alisson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all back in training in a major boost to the Reds.

The trio have all been struggling with their own injury issues over recent weeks.

However, all three have been pictured back with the main group at Kirkby ahead of Thursday evening’s Europa League quarter-final clash with Atalanta.

Alexander-Arnold and Jota were both spotted training alongside their team-mates. Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson was also snapped during the Reds’ latest preparations.

Academy graduate Alexander-Arnold injured his knee in early February and has been restricted to the sidelines ever since. Jota also picked up a similar issue soon after and has been out since the 4-1 win against Brentford in mid-February. Alisson, meanwhile, has been out with a hamstring injury picked up against Man City.

Klopp had recently given an update on the trio and was hopeful of them returning to action soon. Speaking earlier this month, the German said: “Diogo and Trent are together in a group, which helps both, but [it] looks like from next week on they will be hopefully in parts of team training, and then we will see the rest.

“Ali is with the goalkeeper coaches, so I just see them through the fence, but that looks good as well. I think in his mind as well, next week parts of team training.”

Should each of Alisson, Alexander-Arnold and Jota all return, it would be a big boost to Liverpool ’s hopes of lifting more silverware in Klopp’s final season. The Reds are just second to Arsenal in the race for the Premier League, while they are still in the Europa League.

Alisson had made 24 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool before his injury. Alexander-Arnold had made 29 outings, scoring twice and providing nine assists. Jota had scored 14 goals in 28 appearances before being sidelined.

Liverpool are still dealing with a few problems though. Long-term absentees Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara do not look like returning any time soon. Young midfielder Stefan Bajcetic has also been struggling with his own problem and looks more likely to be back in contention later this month.

Following their Europa League quarter-final first leg against Atalanta on Thursday, the Reds are back in Premier League action this weekend. Liverpool welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield and could go top of the table with victory and if results go their way.
