Nathaniel Clyne and Adam Lallana have made encouraging steps in their recoveries from injury, Jürgen Klopp has confirmed.

While the Liverpool pair remain out of contention for first-team action as yet, both are progressing well from respective back and thigh issues.

“Clyney had the third or fourth run outside yesterday, not the highest intensity but a big step and he coped well so far with this,” Klopp told reporters at Melwood.

“Adam is close to going outside and running. For the next step, I’ll give you another update in the next press conference!”
