LIVERPOOL have been handed a huge injury boost by Georginio Wijnaldum after the Dutchman returned to training.
Wijnaldum missed Monday’s 0-0 draw against Manchester United after picking up a hamstring injury on international duty.
He was expected to be sidelined for a few weeks but now looks set to face West Brom at the weekend.
Wijnaldum has been superb after joining the Reds from Newcastle for £25million, making seven appearances in all competitions so far this season.
His absence was profoundly felt in the stalemate with Jose Mourinho's side, and Jurgen Klopp is sure to be delighted at having him back for the home clash against the Baggies on Saturday.
There was more good news for Liverpool fans, with Adam Lallana and long-term absentee Joe Gomez both completing full training sessions.
