Joe Gomez last night took to social media to provide an update on his bid to return from the knee injury that has sidelined him since October.

A promising start to the young defender's Anfield career was cut short when he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament while representing England U21s in the early stages of last season.

The 19-year-old has since faced a gruelling rehabilitation programme, but is now closer than ever to returning to full training as the start of pre-season nears..

And, in an Instagram post containing a video of some of his best moments as a Red thus far, Gomez has promised that he will be even stronger when he makes a return to first-team action.
