Jeremie Frimpong of Liverpool during a training session at AXA Training Centre

Stefan Bajcetic has been pictured training out on the grass as the Liverpool midfielder continues his recovery from a hamstring injury.

The young Spaniard underwent surgery during the summer after suffering the issue towards the end of his loan spell with La Liga side Las Palmas.

The 20-year-old has been undergoing his rehab at the club's AXA Training Centre throughout the close-season as he missed the entirety of the Reds’ pre-season campaign as a result of his injury.

But he is seemingly edging closer to a return after being spotted out on the grass in Liverpool’s latest training session in Kirkby.

A handful of Reds senior players trained alongside members of the club’s Under-21s side on Wednesday.

And while Bajcetic was not pictured with the group, he was snapped by photographers both running outside and kicking a ball.

While his absence from team training would suggest a comeback is not yet imminent, it is still an important step on the midfielder’s road to recovery.

And it is one Bajcetic documented on social media by posting two images from the session on his Instagram account.

Elsewhere, Jeremie Frimpong has handed Liverpool an injury boost ahead of their trip to Burnley on Sunday.

The Netherlands international was involved in team training on Wednesday, having been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury on his Premier League debut against AFC Bournemouth last month.

While the majority of Arne Slot’s senior squad have been away on international duty this month, Joe Gomez, Federico Chiesa, Curtis Jones and Freddie Woodman were also all spotted taking part in training on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Alexander Isak also trained with his new team-mates for the first time since his club-record £125m move from Newcastle United on transfer deadline day.

The striker featured for 18 minutes for Sweden during the international break as he made his first appearance of any kind since May following a disjointed pre-season with the Magpies.

And looking to build up fitness following his move to Liverpool, Isak reported for duty at the AXA Training Centre on Wednesday ahead of the return of the majority of his new Reds team-mates later in the week.
