Jordon Ibe remains hopeful that he will be back in action before the season comes to an end after the wide-man returned to running at Melwood this week.

The 19-year-old was a revelation for the first team after being given his chance by Brendan Rodgers following his loan spell with Derby County.

However, the fearless youngster suffered an untimely knee injury during the Europa League defeat against Besiktas on February 26, which has since sidelined him.

No date has been set for Ibe's comeback to full training, but he's feeling happy after taking the first steps in his rehabilitation.

The No.33 told Liverpoolfc.com: "I'm enjoying it and hopefully I can push on now, keep doing the gym sessions and hopefully get back into training soon and play again.

"I was a bit nervous coming back because I hadn't been out on the grass for four weeks, but everything is going well."

He added: "It was the ligament on the side of my knee and they said I could be out for six to eight weeks, but everything has gone smoothly from here and hopefully I can crack on now and get back in action.

"Things happen for a reason so hopefully I can just learn from this, build up the strength in my knee and come back stronger and hopefully be even better."
