It was a usual busy afternoon at Melwood on Wednesday. The cruel and tiring international break is now upon us and Liverpool players returned to their usual training ahead of Southampton’s clash on Saturday. Liverpool had a number of injury scars to care about, but there were some happy faces at Melwood as the team trained with Jurgen Klopp’s assistants Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz.
The German had a hospital appointment (as confirmed by the club) to attend, hence couldn’t join the lads in training. As mentioned, Liverpool have some major injury worries, but what might prove to be a big boost ahead of a crucial period of the season, is the fact that Adam Lallana returned to first-team training following his absence since August.
Adam Lallana has returned to full team training this week.

Furthermore, Jordan Henderson – who pulled out of the England squad for the international friendlies, was seen in the training as well. Besides, another cheer in Liverpool’s fate has come in the form of Sadio Mane. The Senegalese picked up a hamstring injury while on international duty and was called back early. The winger, according to the club, has continued his rehabilitation and is expected to feature against his former club at Anfield.

Philippe Coutinho, on the other hand, skipped Brazil’s win over Japan but featured against England. The Brazilian joined his teammates in the training as well. Expect some heavy metal football at Anfield this weekend!
Liverpool fans, on their part, went into a frenzy after seeing Adam Lallana back in training. Here are some of the best reactions:
