A landmark week for Curtis Jones at Liverpool was topped off when he took part in a first-team training session at Melwood on Friday.

The young forward signed professional terms on his 17th birthday on Thursday and is now expected to move up from Steven Gerrard's Under-18s to Neil Critchley's Premier League 2 chasers in the Under-23 division.

And while his Under-18s teammates were in action against Stoke at the Kirkby Academy on Friday evening, Jones was training with the likes of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino as the Liverpool stars went through their paces ahead of Sunday's visit from Tottenham.

"I’m really pleased and proud of Curtis this season, for his effort and commitment to the team cause and he has added big numbers to his game," said Under-18 boss Gerrard.

"We will probably see Curtis more with the U23s now , and he has earned that.

"In terms of the day, for him it’s very special. Let’s hope he goes from strength to strength now and he sees this as the beginning."

The likes of Ben Woodburn and Trent Alexander-Arnold also took part in the session amongst more senior stars like Jordan Henderson, Emre Can and Dejan Lovren.

Virgil van Dijk also trained and could return to the side after missing out on Tuesday night's 3-0 win at Huddersfield.

Adam Lallana, who sat off the Huddersfield all together, was involved too and the midfielder could return to the squad on Sunday.
