Jarrad Branthwaite Injury: Could train soon

Branthwaite (undisclosed) is expected to return to training Wednesday, according to manager David Moyes, per Chris Beesley of the Liverpool Echo. "If not, the big sign tonight is that we should have Jarrad back in training when we return to training on Wednesday, with a bit of luck."

Branthwaite has been struggling with a minor injury for the past few weeks, but is receiving a good update just ahead of the start of the season, with the defender set to return to training soon. This is good news for the club as they are only two weeks out from the opener. He is set to be a starter this season when fit, so the hope is for the defender to be fit when facing Leeds United on August 18.
