Our cameras were at the Reds’ base to cover the session, ahead of Sunday’s return to Premier League action at Sheffield United.

Although a number of the squad were not back from their international exertions, there were some positive signs that Ole’s prediction relating to having more options available for this busy spell is set to be proved right.

Luke Shaw, who has been absent since the match against Crystal Palace in August, was training as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.

Another defender, Axel Tuanzebe, also looks to be on the way back after pulling out of the draw with Liverpool during the warm-up.

Nemanja Matic is another Red who has been sidelined, but he could be available again soon. A return for the Serbian could be timely, as Scott McTominay did not train with his colleagues after picking up an ankle injury in our last fixture, the win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
