Liverpool boss gives midfielder his backing.
It’s been a while since Adam Lallana made a meaningful contribution for Liverpool.
Signed from Southampton in 2014, Lallana has struggled to make any sort of impact over the past two seasons after struggles with injuries.
Lallana has only made two Premier League starts this season, and four appearances off the bench.
Manager Jurgen Klopp is not giving up on the former England regular, who is now 30.
Ahead of Liverpool’s tie with Wolves, Klopp has been talking up the midfielder, believing him to being close to returning to his best.
Klopp told The Telegraph: “Adam is actually in outstanding shape. It’s unbelievable
“It was close in the last game whether we started him or not.
“Adam is in the best moment since I’ve known him as a person and he will have a big part of our season. In training, everything was good.”
Klopp’s comments may be designed to boost Lallana’s confidence, as he prepares for involvement in a tough FA Cup tie.
The Reds travel to Wolves and will rotate their team, despite knowing how hard they had to work to win 2-0 last month in the Premier League match at Molineux.
Lallana featured in that game, playing 32 minutes off the bench as the Reds closed out a victory.
