'Train harder, train stronger' - Adam Lallana on being ready to step in

The midfielder made his 17th appearance of 2019-20 as a substitute during the second half of Saturday’s 1-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur.

Sent on in the 61st minute, Lallana’s sureness in possession and typically industrious work-rate helped the Reds hold firm when the hosts rallied late on.

Speaking after the win – Liverpool’s 20th in 21 Premier League fixtures this term – the No.20 explained how his pre-match preparations are fuelling his role in the quest for further honours.

“It’s just training harder. When you’re not playing, it’s hard to maintain your fitness levels to come back in and be able to perform in this team,” he said.
