Matip has begun running in his recovery from a torn ACL, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Joel [is] running - he hates that! But he is able to run again, so that's good," the manager stated."
ANALYSIS
Matip is making his way back from ACL surgery, which he underwent in December. His recovery will be a long one and the hope is that he can get back in training over the summer and possibly in some pre-season contests. If all goes well, he'll be an option to start at the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign, whether it's with Liverpool or another club.

Matip will be allowed to leave Liverpool during the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Matip has been relegated to backup duties this season, and the former Cameroon international is not likely to play regularly for Liverpool anymore. As such, expect the Reds to allow his departure in the summer, and it wouldn't be shocking if he ends up joining a league such as the MLS or the Saudi Pro League.
