“Great news for Liverpool” – Sky reporter provides perfect update for Reds fans ahead of the Merseyside derby.

Liverpool fans have received a welcome boost ahead of Wednesday night’s Merseyside derby.

Following a 17-day break due to the international window and FA Cup quarter-finals, the Reds return to action at Anfield against Everton, aiming to recover from recent setbacks against Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle.

Injury concerns briefly surfaced during the break, with Ryan Gravenberch withdrawing from the Netherlands squad and Alisson Becker leaving Brazil’s camp after suffering a suspected concussion in their win over Colombia.

Double fitness boost for Liverpool on Monday
On Monday afternoon, Sky Sports provided encouraging updates on both players, with live footage from Liverpool’s training session at Kirkby.

Their reporter confirmed: “Ryan Gravenberch is back in training… He wasn’t feeling great after the [Carabao] Cup final and missed the Netherlands’ UEFA Nations League games.

“We also showed footage of Alisson earlier. He had a nasty collision with Davinson Sánchez while playing for Brazil but is back in training and feeling fine ahead of the Everton clash.”

A timely lift ahead of a crucial derby
Following disappointing defeats to PSG and Newcastle, as well as speculation surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s possible move to Real Madrid, Liverpool will be eager to start April on a winning note and lift the mood.

A victory over Everton—especially after February’s dramatic 2-2 draw at Goodison Park—would provide crucial momentum in the title race.

The sight of Gravenberch and Alisson training suggests both are fit for selection, while Joe Gomez was also spotted doing individual running drills as he works his way back from a hamstring injury.

With Arne Slot set to give further updates in Tuesday’s press conference, Liverpool will hope to avoid a repeat of their goalless draw against Everton following a long break in their 2020 title-winning season. This time, the aim will be three points to strengthen their bid for a 20th league title.
