During the last few weeks while everything has gone according to plan for Liverpool on the pitch, the same cannot be said for what’s happened off it. Injuries have haunted Jurgen Klopp’s side. It seems like game by game, more and more players have fallen due to injury.
However, things are changing in a positive direction. Over the weekend, both Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai returned to action. The former even grabbed the headlines coming to Liverpool’s rescue by scoring a last-minute winner for the Reds against Nottingham Forest.
There could be more positive news this week with Mohamed Salah expected to be back in action for the Reds. And it’s not just those three who are on the return. Yesterday, another Liverpool star returned to action for the club’s U21 side.
Rhys Williams returned to action for Liverpool
23-year-old Rhys Williams has been out injured for a while. After coming back from his loan spell at Port Vale, the Liverpool defender hasn’t been able to feature in training or in a competitive match. However, yesterday he finally returned.
Williams came back into action for Liverpool lining up for the club’s U21 side against Aston Villa. It wasn’t the best of returns though for the defender with the young Reds’ losing 2-0 to their opponents.
It’s great to see Williams back though. He has always been highly rated at the club’s academy. And he even impressed for the first team during the 2021/22 season. A few years ago in a press conference, Klopp described him as an ‘exceptional’ player.
Now, what comes next for Williams remains to be seen. He’s been quite unfortunate with his last few loans spells. He couldn’t get in the squad at Aberdeen during the beginning of this season. Meanwhile, he picked up an injury at Port Vale after going there on loan in January and returned to the Reds without having featured for his loan side.
