Jurgen Klopp shares updates on Liverpool pair Rhian Brewster and James Milner
Jurgen Klopp has revealed to Liverpool’s official website that Rhian Brewster is looking ‘really good’ in training as the youngster steps up his recovery from a long-term injury.
The 18-year-old attacker suffered an ankle problem with the Reds’ Under-23 side in January of 2018, before it was discovered that he had torn the meniscus in his knee.
Brewster hasn’t kicked a ball for Liverpool at any level in 14 months, but is making steady progress in his long-awaited return to fitness.
The English striker, a Golden Boot winner at the Under-17 World Cup, is one of the Anfield club’s most exciting young prospects.
Klopp told Liverpool’s official website: “Rhian trained, looked really good, but he is in the situation Ox was maybe three weeks ago or so. He is in a really good way.”
Meanwhile, the German manager didn’t have such promising news on James Milner, who he revealed has been suffering with a muscle problem.
The 33-year-old featured against Everton last week but it looks like he’s set to miss Sunday’s visit of Burnley.
Klopp added: “Millie we will have to see. It is Millie, so everything heals quicker with him! He was already outside yesterday. He had a little muscle issue, but there are still two days to go until the game.
“I think if you ask Millie he would say, ‘I will be ready’ but we have to see. He trained yesterday with the rehab coach and we will see what he is doing today.”
