Danny Ings will step up his rehabilitation programme on Tuesday as the Liverpool striker looks to put his injury heartache behind him.

The England international has been sidelined since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament last October.

Ings was ruled out for the rest of the season but has now been given the green light to move from the gym to light training outside at Melwood.

Boss Jurgen Klopp says it’s a significant step forward for the striker, who scored three goals in eight appearances following his summer arrival from Burnley.

“I had lunch with Ingsy a few minutes ago,” Klopp said.

“He’s not in the perfect way, but Tuesday will be his first time outside again.

“He’s still a long way away from being available but he’s here.”

The 23-year-old frontman suffered the injury during his first training session under Klopp and just two days after coming off the bench to make his full England debut against Lithuania.
