Loris Karius returns to Liverpool training

Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has returned to full training ahead of the team's Audi Cup clash with Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old has been unable to participate with the rest of the squad during the club's pre-season trip to Germany so far due to a hip injury, which also forced him to miss Saturday's 3-0 win over Hertha Berlin.

However, he was back in full training alongside Simon Mignolet and academy goalkeeper Kamil Grabara on Sunday and could be in contention to feature against Bayern.

Fellow goalkeeper Danny Ward was absent once again, though, as he continues to struggle with a back problem.

Karius has featured in three of Liverpool's five pre-season matches so far, chopping and changing with Mignolet as the pair renew their battle for the number one jersey.
