Crocked Lucas honing in on Liverpool return

Lucas Leiva is on his way back to full fitness in what is a great piece of news for Liverpool.

The Brazilian, 28, has been sidelined with a groin injury since early February and went back to his homeland to receive treatment but is now joining in full first-team training with the Reds ahead of his comeback.

Lucas had been an integral part of Brendan Rodgers' side as a holding midfielder and the Anfield boss would love to have him back for the season run-in as the Merseysiders chase a top-four finish.
