Liverpool Players Enjoy Last Few Days of Summer Break Before Pre-Season Return
The summer break is coming to an end for the Liverpool players, with only a few days left before they return to pre-season training. While some players have been taking advantage of the time off to relax and enjoy their holidays, others have been hard at work in the gym and on the pitch, ensuring they are in peak physical condition for the upcoming season.
From engagement parties to trips to the British Grand Prix, visits to former clubs and fitness work, it has been a busy few days for the senior players making a late return to pre-season. Here’s a look at what some of the Liverpool players have been up to in their final days of summer break.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Intense Training Regime
Trent Alexander-Arnold took just one week off following his duties with England before working up a sweat, and it looks to have paid off. The right-back has undertaken an intense training regime to return in peak physical condition, with picturesque locations in America helping to soothe some of the pain.
Mohamed Salah’s Gym Work and Dance Moves
Mohamed Salah has never been too far away from the gym during his time off either – he showed off his seven-kilometre treadmill run on Instagram which he finished in 29 minutes! – but he’s also let loose too. Perhaps he could incorporate some of these moves in his goal celebrations next season?
Virgil van Dijk’s Birthday Celebrations
Virgil van Dijk turned 32 on Saturday and celebrated in style in Ibiza on stage with Calvin Harris, an experience he described as “crazy.”
Cody Gakpo Visits Former Club PSV
Cody Gakpo returned to his former club PSV and watched on from the sidelines as they played their first pre-season friendly – they lost 2-1.
Luis Diaz’s Farewell at Atletico Junior
The winger played a special farewell for a former team-mate at Atletico Junior in Colombia, and while he did miss a penalty it was a good chance to blow out the cobwebs before his Liverpool return. There was also the little matter of a proposal to his partner Gera Ponce, who, of course, said yes! Congratulations are in order.
Jordan Henderson’s Training Regime in Portugal
Jordan Henderson has followed a similar path to Trent, training hard on the pitch and in the gym to be ready to make an instant impact for the Reds. The skipper has been training in Portugal and has been rivalling Salah when it comes to shirtless shots!
Andy Robertson’s Training with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Danny Welbeck
Andy Robertson has also been putting miles into his legs in Portugal but has done so alongside Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has yet to sign for a new club, and Brighton‘s Danny Welbeck. They’ve been having healthy competition on the football pitch and the padel tennis courts – Robbo and Ox looked particularly happy with their efforts after a magical shot from the left-back.
Thiago’s Trip to the British Grand Prix
Thiago was part of the first group to report back but did enjoy a trip to the British Grand Prix on Sunday and enjoyed Ferrari’s hospitality – this writer may be slightly jealous…
With only 34 days until the opening day clash at Chelsea, all attention will now be on getting ready for the 2023/24 season. It’s going to be here before we know it!
