Reds return to Melwood
Liverpool will step up their preparations for 2012-13 today as the first batch of players return to Melwood to begin pre-season training.
Those who have not been on international duty during the summer will return to the club's training complex to start getting ready for the campaign with new manager Brendan Rodgers.
The players have been on holiday since the last time they saw Rodgers, when the Reds completed their Barclays Premier League season at Swansea City on May 13.
Liverpool will move their planning for 12-13 up another notch when they head off on a three-game tour of North America later this month.
Rodgers' first game in charge will be against Toronto FC on July 21 before the Reds move on to Boston and Baltimore to take on AS Roma and Tottenham Hotspur respectively.
The Reds' pre-season programme concludes with a friendly at home to Sami Hyypia's Bayer Leverkusen on August 12.
