Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana helped the Reds to a win.
Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana got a rare start for the Reds at the weekend against Burnley.
Lallana proved manager Jurgen Klopp’s faith right, by excelling in Liverpool’s 4-2 victory.
The midfielder was named in Garth Crooks’ team of the week, with the pundit acknowledging his difficulties with injuries.
Crooks told BBC Sport: “This lad has been through 18 months of hell.
“To be out of action for such a long period of time only to return to the starting line-up for a rare start and play so well against Burnley must have been heaven.
“If Lallana can stay fit then Liverpool have a tremendous asset and so do England.”
Liverpool signed Lallana for £25 million from Southampton in 2014.
It’s no exaggeration to suggest Lallana has been fighting for his future at Liverpool.

This was a positive step forward for the midfielder.
