The summer break is over for some of Liverpool FC's first-team stars.

Senior players who were not involved in the World Cup in Brazil returned to Melwood to kick off pre-season training.

They included Spanish full-back Jose Enrique, who posted several tweets during the day, including one where he posed with Philippe Coutinho, Joao Carlos Teixeira, Iago Aspas and Tiago Ilori.

Others players who returned included Lucas Leiva and Fabio Borini.

Emre Can stood out at Melwood with a spectacular overhead kick.

The Reds will begin their pre-season campaign on July 16 with a trip to Brondby, before facing Preston North End at Deepdale three days later.

Brendan Rodgers' side will then travel to the United States where they will face Roma, Olympiakos, Manchester City and AC Milan over a 10 day period, before rounding off their preparations with a home game against Borussia Dortmund.
