English Premier League side Liverpool’s midfielder has travelled to South Africa for specialist treatment as he continues his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury.
The 29-year-old is receiving treatment at the Sports Science Institute in Cape Town, which was selected by the club’s medical department to aid the England international’s return to fitness.
Lallana has made just three starts and 10 substitute appearances for the Merseyside club this season, spending a huge period in the doctor’s room.
His season did not kick-off until late November due to a thigh injury.
There have been a couple of recurrences of that problem while his latest comeback was ended prematurely on March 31 when he was on the pitch for just five minutes before a hamstring injury forced him off.
Liverpool have taken their time with Lallana in the second half of the season after manager Jurgen Klopp admitted they had probably brought him back too soon from his initial setback.
The club said it would continue that cautious approach in the final month of the campaign.
While the midfielder has not yet been ruled out of their remaining matches, he will hope to be able to prove his fitness in time for World Cup consideration.
Liverpool are currently ranked third in the PL table, with just one point separating them with second placed Manchester United who have a game in hand.
The Kop are still hunting for the coveted UEFA Champions League trophy, having beaten Manchester City to make it into the semi-finals where they will face Italian side AS Roma.
The club’s next game will be against relegation-threatened West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
