The players are now heading out for their second session of the day, which will involve plenty of ball work - shooting, passing and dribbling exercises are planned. It's still very warm at the training ground with barely a cloud in sight.

'It's always good to get a full pre-season with the team'

We had the chance to speak briefly with Andy Robertson as he came off the training pitch at Melwood earlier.

The Scot is pleased he will get to enjoy a first full pre-season under Jürgen Klopp having missed the first three weeks last year as he awaited the completion of his move from Hull City.

The players were fortunate enough to do some ball work during today's earlier session - a relief after yesterday's running, no doubt.
