Before Liverpool's FA Cup loss to Wolves, Jurgen Klopp gave an update on Gomez and Matip: "Joe is getting better, it's getting better, but he's not yet involved."

"Joel is maybe a bit closer. We have to see how the bone healing is, that's always how it is when something has broken, but from his movements it looks nearly normal.

"But from his movements it looks nearly normal.

"But there are still a few days to go until we can have them in team training, until [Joel] is ready for contact, which for a centre-half is pretty important.

"Until then we will make all the fitness work. The good thing is Joel can do all the fitness work already since a week ago, so that means when he comes back he will be 100 per cent fit."

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
