Danny Ings has put in a summer of hard graft as the Liverpool striker hits the comeback trail.

The former Burnley frontman has been a regular at Melwood throughout the off season.

Ings, who has missed most of the past two seasons due to injury, has only had one week’s holiday in order to give himself the best possible chance of forcing his way into Jurgen Klopp’s plans ahead of the new campaign.

The Reds boss has been impressed by the 24-year-old’s attitude and commitment to his rehabilitation programme.

Ings has been back running outside since the end of last season and he has stepped up his recovery with some ball work in recent weeks.

There is no set time scale for his return to the main group in July, but he’s ahead of schedule and should feature at some stage in the Reds’ pre-season programme.

Club staff will be understandably cautious and manage him carefully as Ings looks to get his career back on track after two devastating setbacks.

The England international has only made 11 appearances for Liverpool since his £8million move from Burnley two years ago.

Ings has been sidelined since suffering ligament damage to his right knee in the EFL Cup tie against Tottenham at Anfield last October.

He also missed most of the 2015/16 campaign after tearing the ACL in his left knee.

Ings has been back to see surgeon Andy Williams for regular check ups and has been given a clean bill of health.
