Liverpool's Georginio Wijnaldum back in training ahead of West Brom clash

Liverpool have been given a boost after Georginio Wijnaldum was pictured back in training on Wednesday.

The versatile midfielder missed Monday night's goalless draw with Manchester United with an injury sustained on international duty with Netherlands.

The 25-year-old was training at Melwood ahead of Saturday evening's meeting with West Bromwich Albion.

Meanwhile, defender Joe Gomez also completed the session as he steps up his recovery from long-term injury.

Gomez made a return to full training last week after a year on the sidelines with an ACL and Achilles injury.

The 19-year-old was given a round of applause by his teammates on Thursday as he made his way back onto the training field.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp spoke of his delight at having Gomez back with the team but said that it is going to take time for him to be fully fit.

"With a big applause, he came back," Klopp said. "It was really nice to have the boy back in training. It is only parts of training. He needs time, he has to do a lot until he's match fit, but it's really good to have him back.

"Actually, it is the first time I've had him. He got his injury in the international break when I came here last year. Now it is his first time on the pitch with the team. It was really a very nice moment."
