Liverpool supporters are 'out of this world' – Ings

Striker Danny Ings has hailed the Liverpool supporters following his first appearance back from injury.

After seven months out of action, Liverpool striker Danny Ings made his return to the pitch during the final game of the Premier League season against West Bromwich Albion when coming on as a 64th minute substitute.

Ings was greeted with a warm welcome from the travelling Liverpool supporters when he made his entrance onto The Hawthorns pitch and following the game, the 23-year-old hailed the Reds' faithful for their unwavering support.

"It's hard to put into words how much this afternoon meant to me, but it's important to say thank you to the people who made it so special and made it happen," Ings, who joined from Burnley last summer, told the club's official website.

"The supporters were unreal, absolutely out of this world. I didn't expect them to sing my name after I've been out for that long, but it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and made me realise just why this place is what it is.

"I also want to thank my teammates for everything they've done for me while I've been battling to get back to full fitness. The atmosphere at Melwood is brilliant and we've got a dressing room of lads who get behind you and drive you on. Without them, the rehab would have been so much harder."
