Liverpool defender Matip ‘feeling good’ for new Premier League season

The Cameroon international suffered a season-ending injury back in January which made him miss the rest of the 2020-21 campaign

Joel Matip is happy to be in Liverpool’s pre-season camp after a long injury lay-off as they intensify preparations for the 2021-22 Premier League season.

The 29-year-old joined fellow defenders Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez who recently recovered from injuries in the Reds’ 34-man squad.

Matip has not played for Liverpool since he damaged his ankle ligaments in a Premier League match Tottenham Hotspur in January.
