Liverpool are back preparing for Premier League action when they face Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.
The Reds take on Spurs at Anfield on Saturday night as they look to close the gap on leaders Manchester City. Liverpool are one point behind City with four matches left to play.
Jurgen Klopp’s side go into the game on the back of an enthralling Champions League semi-final victory over Villarreal. The Reds will face Real Madrid in the final in Paris later this month.

Ahead of this weekend’s game against Tottenham, the Liverpool players have been back in training. Here is a look at some of the things we spotted from the latest session at the AXA Training Centre.
Bobby is back
It appears that Liverpool have been handed a welcome fitness boost with the return of Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian was taking full part in the training session alongside his team-mates.
Firmino has been sidelined with a foot injury for the past few weeks, and has missed Liverpool’s last five matches. Klopp is likely to provide a fitness update on the striker in Friday’s press conference.
Given his return to fitness, Firmino will hope to be in contention to play a part in Saturday’s match against Spurs.
Youngsters involved
Something which has become regular at Liverpool training sessions is Klopp bringing in talent from the academy to work with the senior players. The latest session has seen two youngsters brought into fold to train with the first-team.
Young striker Oakley Cannonier took part in the training session, as he soaked up his surroundings. The talented 17-year-old has been in fine form for the club’s Under-18s this term, scoring a mammoth 41 goals across all competitions.
Another youngster involved in the session was defender Luke Chambers. The 17-year-old left-back has also been a key figure for the Under-18s, and is impressing those high up at the academy at Kirkby.
No absentees
From the videos and photos provided, it appears that no new injury worries have surfaced since the win over Villarreal. Firmino had been the main absentee in recent weeks, but the Brazilian is now back in training.
Not for the first time in recent weeks, Klopp may have the full complement of his squad to choose from when Liverpool take on Spurs. The depth of options could provide the manager with a selection headache going into Saturday’s match.
