Lucas passing on wisdom at Melwood
You might expect Lucas Leiva to be consumed by his own recovery from injury during this international break, but in typically generous fashion the Brazilian has been trying to help others too.
With many of Brendan Rodgers' squad currently away with their countries, Michael Beale's developing U21s have swapped the Academy in Kirkby for the pristine training pitches of Melwood.
There they have been working alongside first-team midfielder Lucas, who missed more than a month of action after suffering an adductor problem during the Merseyside derby at the beginning of February.
And as well as undertaking a regime to increase his fitness before the Reds resume their campaign, the No.21 has been acting as the perfect role model for the young players hoping to make the West Derby base their permanent home.
"Lucas has joined us and it's a pleasure to have him," Beale told Liverpoolfc.com. "He knows a few of the boys; he gets on really well with Jordan Williams and the Spanish boys like [Pedro] Chirivella and [Sergi] Canos, he helps them along.
"He played for us last year along with [Mamadou] Sakho away at West Ham and he was outstanding. He trained for three or four days beforehand. He obviously wants to get his fitness to get back in the team and play an important part."
The pathway between the Academy and senior set-ups is an open course, with Rodgers regularly handing opportunities to young talent and putting his faith in those showing the desire to learn and progress.
See the two Jordans - Rossiter and Williams - as prime examples, having earned the unforgettable chance to run out at Anfield when Liverpool hosted Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup last September.
Williams, in particular, has forced his way into the boss' thinking by grasping his personal invitations to Melwood and being named among the first-team substitutes on numerous occasions in 2015.
He is now naturally an inspiration, reason if any were needed to leave nothing on the field in every session, something Beale notices each time his squad make the temporary switch of location.
The U21s manager added: "This is where everyone wants to be and you see an extra 10 per cent in the training when the boys come here. It's brilliant for them. The boys are here quite regularly.
"Every day, I liaise with Mike Marsh or Colin Pascoe in the morning at around 9.30am and at least three or four come across nearly every day. But the international breaks are a really good chance for us to come across en masse."
