Adam Lallana travelled with Liverpool to Rome today.
Liverpool fans are delighted to have seen Adam Lallana board the flight to Italy today ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League clash with Roma.
The Reds are potentially 90 minutes away from reaching the final in Kiev and Lallana was a surprise inclusion in Jurgen Klopp’s squad that travelled to the Italian capital.
The former Southampton man struggled with injury for most of the calendar year and has only managed 140 minutes of football since February.
Lallana, a £25 million signing in 2014 [Mirror], hasn’t kicked a ball for Liverpool since the win at Crystal Palace on March 31 and was not expected to make the trip to Rome.
But Klopp brought him nonetheless and fans of the Anfield club are delighted with the update.
Here is how they reacted on Twitter:
There is no guarantees that Lallana will play, but Klopp might have felt forced to keep his options open at the very least after Oxlade-Chamberlain was ruled out for the season – and the World Cup – with a knee injury.
Nevertheless, Liverpool could, and definitely should, progress into the showpiece in Kiev later this month, after earning a 5-2 first-leg lead last week.
