Adel Taarabt has a strong possibility to return to the team, the day after tomorrow, against Liverpool, in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
The 32-year-old Moroccan midfielder missed the match against SC Braga due to an adductor muscle injury, but today it is expected that he will integrate without restrictions in the Reds’ return to training, with the start of preparations for the match against Liverpool. The answer Taarabt gives this morning will be decisive. At the moment, the technical team hopes the return of the Moroccan international. This can be straight back to eleven.
Tarabat was injured two weeks ago in a match against Ajax Amsterdam. He did not play in the next match against Estoril (here as a penalty) and was left out of the Moroccan national team’s call-up, in the play-off to reach the World Cup. The FIFA date break served the midfielder’s recovery process. Taarabt showed good signs ahead of the match against SC Braga, but the merger was slow and considered inappropriate by the Reds’ medical department.
Tarrapt worked yesterday and the day before yesterday in Seixal with the team in Minho for the match against SC Braga. Today he resumes training with Nélson Veríssimo.
