Our busy session at our Surrey training base followed Liam Rosenior's press conference, where our head coach explained that defenders Trevoh Chalobah and Reece James, alongside goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, will miss our trip to Merseyside.

The boss also revealed that Levi Colwill had been making good progress, with the centre-half pictured in first-team training, but urged patience with the 23-year-old not expected to feature on-pitch anytime soon.

After a few disappointing results in recent weeks, the Blues pictured were being put through their paces as we go in search of a positive return in our first trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The likes of Josh Acheampong, Cole Palmer, Andrey Santos and Estevao Willian were all photographed and featured in our gallery.

French duo Malo Gusto and Wesley Fofana both trained, while Joao Pedro and Jorrel Hato were among the other players snapped by our photographer's camera lens.
