Liverpool broadcast today's training session, with Jordan Henderson absent. The Reds captain was omitted from the squad for the Karlsruher by manager Jurgen Klopp amid interest from Saudi Arabia side Al-Ettifaq. It was reported yesterday that Henderson had left the training camp to consider his future.

Liverpool have reportedly agreed a £12 million fee with the Saudi Pro League outfit managed by Kop legend Steven Gerrard.

Meanwhile, Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic were not involved with the rest of their team-mates. Both midfielders are on the comeback trail from injury. Thiago underwent hip surgery towards the end of last season while Bajcetic had an operation for an adductor problem in March.

However, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott have now linked up with Klopp's side. They were given extra time off after helping England under-21s to European Championships glory and underwent their first training session.
