Photos: Klopp and Mane in good spirits as duo return in Marbella training

Liverpool FC

The Liverpool squad were in good spirits as they undertook their first training session in Marbella on Tuesday.

The Reds touched down in Spain on Monday, boosted by the inclusion of long-term absentees Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rhian Brewster.

Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff led out the players for the first time on Tuesday morning, with the duo involved in all the different drills with the rest of the squad.

Brewster and Oxlade-Chamberlain will go on to train on their own this afternoon, alongside other long-term absentees Ben Woodburn and Nat Phillips.

Speaking after the session, Klopp was hopeful that his staff can “integrate them step by step” as they look to join full team training in the coming weeks.

Midfielders James Milner, Gini Wijnaldum and Fabinho were all absent from training, despite having travelled as normal.

The rest of the squad appeared to be in good spirits, especially the relaxed Klopp who was keen to share a joke with winger Sadio Mane.

The Reds will return to Merseyside later this week as they step up their preparations for the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Bayern Munich at Anfield.
