There was an 8am start for Liverpool's players on Friday morning as they began a day consisting of three training sessions with a series of running drills in Rottach-Egern.

The Reds hit the track before breakfast in Bavaria to continue preparations ahead of Saturday's friendly clash with Hertha BSC, which will be shown live on LFCTV and LFCTV GO.

Our photographers were on hand to capture the lads completing the drills, which you can see in our gallery below.
