Injured Jota back to full Liverpool training while Van Dijk continues recovery

Diego Jota and Virgil Van Dijk have given Liverpool a rare bit of positive fitness news this week by progressing from their respective injuries in training.

Jota (knee) fully participated with team-mates in Wednesday's session, while Van Dijk (knee) was able to work out on his own outside.

It appears Jota will be in outside chance at contention for this weekend's trip to Sheffield United - a much-needed boost following the announcement captain Jordan Henderson's groin problem "doesn't look good". Van Dijk remains far from a match return, but his appearance near the training ground nonetheless offers a reminder of the world class talent the ailing squad will eventually get back.
