After a three month absence due to injury, Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva returns to Liverpool’s squad for this weekend’s match against Southampton.
Anyone who watched the documentary Being Liverpool should feel a pinch of affection for Leiva, as he raced back to full recovery only to limp off in a match early in the season. The footballer is Liverpool’s lynchpin, so it’ll be fascinating to see him play again and what immediate impact he can make for the Reds.
