Brendan Rodgers put his full squad through their paces for the first time this summer as the players trained at Melwood following their return from Kuala Lumpur.

Those who travelled out to Thailand, Australia and Malaysia linked up with summer signings Roberto Firmino and Christian Benteke during Tuesday's session.

Preparations for the upcoming friendlies with Helsinki and Swindon Town this weekend are now well and truly underway, with the Barclays Premier League clash at Stoke City on the horizon.

You can see a selection of pictures from Melwood in our gallery below.
