Laughter and Limps at Liverpool Training…
In a scene that could easily be mistaken for auditions for Liverpool’s comedy club, the Reds were in stitches during training, setting the mood for their upcoming Champions League face-off with PSG. With a slim one-goal edge courtesy of Harvey Elliott’s buzzer-beater, Liverpool players were more about giggles than grimaces on Monday, visibly unworried by the Parisians plotting their comeback revenge.
The big news item was Cody Gakpo’s surprise appearance on the training field after ghosting the last couple of games due to an ankle sprain. His presence is like spotting a unicorn in the otherwise normal realm of Anfield! On the flip side, Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez, and Tyler Morton traded their jerseys for injury rehab, while young guns James McConnell and Rio Ngumoha joined the fray – a true A-team in the making.
The academy had its own little drama when Curtis Jones got, let’s say, a little too close to Wataru Endo’s feet. After a quick, melodramatic yelp, Jones bounced back faster than a cat on catnip! Meanwhile, Joe Gomez continued his lone ranger routine, working on his hammy away from the squad, barely visible through the sun-kissed windows like a true undercover agent.
