Liverpool: Ben Doak to return to training by the ‘end of the week’

Liverpool: Ben Doak to return to training by the 'end of the week' - Liverpool News

Liverpool forward Ben Doak is set to return to Premier League training by the ‘end of the week’, according to journalist Ian Doyle.

The Lowdown: Unexplained absence

The Scotsman joined the U18s side at Anfield from Celtic last summer and has since worked his way up through the ranks to make a breakthrough into the senior fold.

But in recent weeks, the 17-year-old has been curiously missing from the match-day squad.

The Reds winger took to his social media to reveal that he would be ‘back soon’, hinting that he had sustained an unknown injury, though a positive update on his absence has now emerged.

The Latest: Doak fitness update

Taking to Twitter, Doyle revealed that Doak has indeed been suffering with a small niggle but claimed that he would be back on the grass imminently, whilst also providing welcome news on Diogo Jota.

“Diogo Jota trained with LFC again today as planned as he nears a return to action. Ben Doak, who has been absent from the last three games with a minor muscle problem, is expected to be back in training by the end of the week.”

Reds fans, do you remember how many players Liverpool signed last summer?

The Verdict: Boost for Klopp

Doak soon being available for selection again will come as a huge boost to Jurgen Klopp, who will know just how much potential his talented teenager has got.

The Dalry native has posted an impressive 14 goal contributions in 17 appearances for the Reds’ various youth sides and has already made five outings for the first team (Transfermarkt).

Liverpool should be open to giving their younger players a run out given their poor form of late, and Doak has all the right attributes to make a Stefan Bajcetic-esque impact should he be given the nod upon his return.
