Jürgen Klopp returned to Melwood on Thursday to take the day's training session as Liverpool's preparations for Southampton continued - and our photographers were on hand to capture the workout.

The boss missed Wednesday's drills as he attended a hospital appointment as a precautionary measure after feeling ill.

However, Klopp was back out on the training pitches in West Derby this afternoon to oversee the Reds being put through their paces ahead of Saturday's encounter with the Saints.
