Said in his press conference JJ would return to full training during the next international break, so middle-to-end of November.

That's always been the target. Great news.

JJ is looking good. Gonna be hungry as a wolf too! Hope he's well prepared mentally as thats key coming back from a serious injury like his. I'm sure he's in good hands after the way Ricky and Barnes have been nurtured back to 100%

[LFox99]

Full circle if JJ makes his comeback against Brighton after suffering his injury against them

It looks like he's been able to feed off Fofana's positivity, and probably vice-versa.

Its easy to forget how important JJ was for us at the start of last season. Blistering pace, highly intelligent, hard working, clever, skillful and defensively solid. Can play LB, LWB LM, RB, RWB, RM and CB all to a premier league quality level without looking massively out of place.

 

Adds options both defensively and going forward and with this 5 at the back system there are so many areas where he could be useful. This is a massive win for us

What a beautiful sight! Welcome back JJ!

Love this guy so much. Felt different to all the other long term injuries we’ve had. Seems like a real good bloke with a good head on his shoulders. Type of person you want to see do really well.

[turlo]

About another month until he plays for the first team? Is he registered for the Europa League as we play Legia end of Nov so could be used as a sub then if we comfortably winning. Fixtures against Watford and Newcastle at home also possibilities

[Jimmy]

we left him off the EL list, he will likely replace Benkovic in January

[HybridFox]

Wonder if he'll feature tomorrow. Showing him quite a lot in the training pics

Providing we haven't lost another 3 defenders by then

Massive plus to have him back!..

Was on the verge of an England call up when he got injured.

Tremendous player.

All his best work has been done behind closed doors. The only semblance he'd have of just how popular he is is off social media. 

 

I really hope, really hope, whenever he is reintroduced he receives a rousing reception. 

 

Welcome back JJ. Can't wait to give you the cheer that ast season you so richly deserved

Definitely needs a song. 

[lcfc sheff]

If he gets back to full fitness he’ll be in the England squad 100% a player of his quality in like at least positions we know about, is a shoe in

Don't know that one. Was it by The Smiths? Sounds like it should be.

[Ric Flair]

Good luck Brendan Rodgers trying to keep 5 full backs happy. 

[LFox99]

Rather have the issue of trying to keep 5 fullbacks happy than trying to decide which two out of form and semi-fit ones are supposed to play.

Realistically he's only gotta keep Ricky, Tim, JJ happy. Ryan knows we didnt bring him in to be our main man and Luke will have to impress with the chances he gets.

Ridiculous to think, if all fully fit, we could field a back 5 of Ricardo, Fofana, Evans, Soyuncu, Castagne & have a back up of Justin, Amartey, Vestegaard, Bertrand, Thomas. That’s incredible depth! 

[LFox99]

Tbf if everyone's fully fit/ in form we shouldn't be going with a back five anyway

[Matt_Lcfc]

Great to see him back in training today. Can’t wait for his return, he was probably our best player last season up until his injury. I really hope that he gets a fantastic reception when he returns.

Justin > Castagne as LB
