It’s been pretty much all go since Jurgen Klopp took over as Liverpool manager in early October.

A hectic fixture schedule and the manager’s well-renowned work ethic mean that the majority of the squad haven’t enjoyed two consecutive days off since the German popped his feet under the manager’s desk at Melwood.

Until this weekend that is.

West Ham’s last minute goal in the FA Cup replay at Upton Park meant there was no action for the Reds this weekend.

After the thrilling 2-0 Europa League victory over Manchester United at Anfield on Thursday, Liverpool have a full week’s break before the second leg at Old Trafford on St Patrick’s Day.

Speaking at Anfield after the game, Klopp said: “We will see who is fit next week. A week is good but a week is long, especially in our life. We have to use the time and that’s what we have to do.”

After the recovery day on Friday, Klopp decided that the best way to use the weekend for the squad was some rare time off.

And there were several players who were determined to make the most of it.

Man of the moment Roberto Firmino flew off to the quiet but popular resort of Costa Adeje in Tenerife with girlfriend Larissa Periera, just round the coast from Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas.

The chilled out Brazilian enjoyed time on the beach in hat and shades while also sporting a new small ponytail.

Mamadou Sakho meanwhile headed to his beloved Paris with wife Mazda Magui, posting a video of them driving towards the Arc de Triomphe.

Dejan Lovren posted a picture of himself apparently on a private jet flying off for a break. He later posted a picture of himself with his family apparently in central Europe somewhere.

Not all the players headed abroad through.

Martin Skrtel headed out in Liverpool on his hoverboard with his two pug dogs. He took to Instagram to tell fans: “Sunday walk(ride)...wondering who’s more lazy, is it me or these two fatty?!sunny day in liverpool???yes its possible, not often, but it is! Have a nice sunday everyone!”

And Danny Ings, now back training on the grass after his long-term ACL injury, spent the day relaxing....at the spa.

For the likes of Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Philippe Coutinho, young babies in the family probably meant that a weekend of travelling was never likely to materialise.

Nathaniel Clyne has been celebrating his brother's birthday, while Joao Teixeira has been out and about having lunch with his cousin.

The players will report back for training on Monday.
