How Liverpool players are spending their holidays as Virgil van Dijk spotted with major rival

Liverpool's first-team have been globe-trotting in recent weeks as they enjoy the summer break away from the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp's men have been posting updates of their time away from club action throughout the month of June, though not all have been able to relax to the fullest extent given the recent internationals taking place just a couple of weeks before regrouping for pre-season.

Alisson, Caiomhin Kelleher, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas, Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson, Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota have all been a part of their countries' recent fixtures.

That being said, the international cohort are wasting no time in their efforts to refresh ahead of the new season. The first to take to social media since the latest round of Euros qualifiers was Konate, who shared a story to Instagram indicating he is spending time in his home city of Paris.

As for the players who haven't had their time taken up by yet more football, the most active on social media have been Mohamed Salah and Thiago Alcantara.

The Egyptian has been posting regular updates of his family trip to his homeland. This including snaps of his 31st birthday celebrations, complete with a personalised cake featuring a mini version of himself.

Meanwhile Thiago, who alongside his wife and family announced the expectancy of another child whilst on a tropical beach holiday at the start of month, has enjoyed further recovery from his injury towards the end of last season with more family time. The 32-year-old took a leaf out of Salah's book and travelled back to his home country, Spain, where he has uploaded photographs of card games with his children.

Top spot for holiday snaps, however, goes to none other than Jones. Before joining up with the Three Lions' Under-21 side, the local lad shared a collection of pictures detailing his time in Los Angeles, California, enjoying what the city has to offer.

Within said collection, the 22-year-old was seen alongside famous rapper and producer Dr. Dre, for which he received reactions from Liverpool teammates Elliott, Konate and Fabinho, as well as fellow England youth international Morgan Gibbs-White.

Fresh off the back of their disappointment in the UEFA Nations League, Reds defender Virgil van Dijk was spotted with Manchester City star Kevin de Bruyne. On their Instagram stories, they were pictured with their partners and the Dutchman followed up by posing with internet personality Samy Sass in Monaco.
