Liverpool star James Milner has been pictured in first-team training as he steps up his recovery from a niggling injury.
The experienced Reds midfielder has been absent in recent times as a consequence of a hamstring problem but seems to be nearing a return to action.

Milner has been a vital cog in Jurgen Klopp’s plans at Anfield this season despite the club’s recruitment of midfield duo Naby Keita and Fabinho in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool have coped well in the former England international’s absence but will be keen to have him back for their crunch clash against Manchester City on Thursday evening.
The Reds have a chance to extend their lead further at the top of the Premier League table as they aim to pull away from Pep Guardiola’s side.
Milner will be desperately hoping to play a part against his former side in what promises to be a pivotal match in the race for the title.
