Alberto Moreno ‘Back In The Race,’ Participating In LFC’s Training Camp In Spain

Jurgen Klopp welcomed the “very important” return of Alberto Moreno after the Liverpool defender joined the session at a warm-weather training camp Wednesday.

The Spanish fullback has been on the sidelines since suffering a hamstring issue ahead of the UEFA Europa League second leg against Manchester United at Old Trafford last week.

Moreno missed that 1-1 draw and the subsequent defeat at Southampton in the Premier League, but has now stepped up his recovery in Tenerife.

Klopp has taken the Reds players not on international duty out to Spain this week to train in warmer temperatures, with Liverpool not in action again until April 2.

“It’s really big for us,” Klopp told LiverpoolFC.com of Moreno’s return. “We let him come in this morning, training light — no real challenges, he could pass a few balls and things like this.

“But it was really good, and he felt absolutely nothing, so from tomorrow he is completely back in the race, which is very important for us.”
