After Liverpool's official Twitter account dropped the teasing seven-word message 'taking it one step at a time' on Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez as they continue their injury recovery, many Reds have buzzed over the update whilst also noticing they have now started ball work at Melwood.

Van Dijk, who was perhaps the standout of Liverpool's star first team players over the 2019/2020 Premier League title-winning season, has been missing for a vast majority of this campaign after picking up an ACL injury during the Merseyside derby.

Gomez, meanwhile, has been out of action since undergoing knee surgery in November and is expected to miss the remainder of the campaign despite initial positivity he could return before the end.

Now, as the club share images of van Dijk and Gomez doing ball work in training, whilst also dropping the seven-word message 'taking it one step at a time', many Reds have flocked in excitement over the update and can't wait for their defensive units to return.

Given both men were first team Premier League regulars over 2019/2020, with van Dijk playing every game and Gomez doing his part with 22 starts, it's little wonder supporters want to see them back as soon as possible.
