Erik ten Hag says Tyrell Malacia is progressing ‘really well’ in his bid to return from the injury that has kept him on the sidelines since the 2022/23 season.
The Netherlands international didn’t kick a ball for the Reds last term, following knee surgery, but was pictured training individually back on the grass in July.
There had been no further update on the left-back until last week, when he was named in our 25-man squad for the first phase of the Europa League.
Supporters took this as a sign that Tyrell was almost ready to feature again and, in his pre-match interview to preview Saturday’s visit to Southampton, the boss confirmed that, although precautions are being taken, the 25-year-old would hopefully soon be ready to help the team.
