Adam Lallana: Liverpool could be getting kit on for comeback against former club Bournemouth

ADAM LALLANA hopes to be stripped for action again when he returns to his old stamping ground tomorrow.
The midfielder visited a strip club in Bournemouth along with England pal Jordan Henderson during a night off from international duty last month.
And now he hopes to make his comeback from a groin injury when Liverpool visit the Cherries tomorrow.
Local hero Lallana, 28, was brought up less than two miles from Bournemouth’s ground and was at their Centre of Excellence before joining Southampton.
He did return for a loan spell in 2007 before making his name with Saints and securing a £25million move to Anfield.
Lallana’s comeback after three games out would be a huge boost for Jurgen Klopp’s title hopefuls.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe confessed: “I have been a huge admirer of Adam Lallana for a very, very long time but I hope not to see him on Sunday.
“We took him on loan way back under Kevin Bond and you could see he was very good off both feet and had all the tricks.
“He has a very creative eye, is a good passer of the ball and moves very well.”
The Cherries will also look to former Liverpool boy Jordon Ibe to turn around their fortunes on the Sabbath after losing all their previous EIGHT Sunday Premier League games.
Ibe, 20, has played a dozen top-flight matches for the club since his record £15m move from Anfield but has not lasted the full 90 minutes or scored a goal in any of them!
Howe said: “There’s so much to come from Jordon — the potential is limitless. We have to be patient.”
