Jon Flanagan sends message to Liverpool supporters after Anfield return
Liverpool defender Jon Flanagan takes to Twitter upon his return from a long spell on the sidelines
Jon Flanagan has thanked Liverpool fans for their reception after he made his return from injury in Wednesday’s 3-0 win against Exeter City.
The 23-year-old full-back ended a 619-day stretch on the sidelines in Liverpool’s FA Cup third-round replay at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Flanagan replaced Connor Randall in the 51st-minute to help Jurgen Klopp’s side ease to victory and set up a fourth-round clash against West Ham United at Anfield.
The Liverpool defender stated that he won’t forget his reception on Wednesday night after making his much-anticipated comeback from a knee injury.
Buzzing to be back 😁. What a reception I received, one I will never forget, fantastic 🙌🏼 YNWA
