Liverpool news: Andy Robertson close to a return, Curtis Jones back in training

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes left-back Andy Robertson is 'close' to returning to the first team squad, while Curtis Jones has already had his first session back in the fold.

Midfielder Jones returned to training after the shin injury which has forced him to miss the start of the season.

He is closing in on a return to the squad and is likely to be back before Scottish international Robertson, who is still recovering from an ankle issue he picked up during Liverpool's Champions League defeat away to Napoli.

"Curtis Jones was in training yesterday, it looked good - but that's now the first session. He's then probably the closest," said Klopp.

"They're in a good way, they do big sessions but Naby (Keita) and Ox (Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain) is still a little bit away.
"We have one new injury, it's Arthur Melo. In the last session before the Rangers game, in a normal situation he just injured a muscle.
"We have to wait for further assessment to know exactly how long it will be but he's out.
"Robbo is running a lot, looks like he's close. Probably Curtis is now the closest, then Robbo and then the other two step by step."
