Jamie Carragher reacts to Jon Flanagan’s Liverpool comeback

Jamie Carragher was one of the first on Twitter to congratulate Liverpool defender Jon Flanagan on his return from injury on Wednesday night.

The Reds full-back came on as a second-half substitute in the 51st-minute to make his first Liverpool appearance in 619 days.

Flanagan replaced Connor Randall and helped Jurgen Klopp’s side ease to a 3-0 victory over Exeter City in their FA Cup third-round replay at Anfield.

And Carragher, who won the FA Cup twice during his Liverpool career, sent a message to Flanagan after the full-back’s comeback.

Go ed Flanno lad!!

The Liverpool youngster has been sidelined with a knee injury since the end of the 2013/14 season before the 22-year-old required further surgery on the problem at the start of the season.

Flanagan, who was part of the Reds’s League Cup-winning squad in 2012, scored one goal in 25 Premier League appearances during the 2013/14 season.
