Cody Gakpo returns to Liverpool training in welcome boost for Jurgen Klopp ahead of Merseyside derby... with forward having been out with a knee injury since controversial 2-1 defeat at Tottenham last month

Cody Gakpo returned to training with the Liverpool squad on Thursday in a welcome boost for Jurgen Klopp ahead of this weekend's Merseyside derby.

The in-form forward missed the last two matches and was absent from the Netherlands' international break after sustaining a knee injury against Tottenham on September 30.

He has found the net in three of his last four games for the Reds but was hauled off at half-time in the controversial 2-1 loss to Spurs, having equalised just before the break.

The 24-year-old could be in contention for Saturday's Anfield showdown against Everton and was involved in ball work at Liverpool's AXA training complex.
