Jurgen Klopp oversaw a 27-man squad three days before the Champions League final, with Fabinho in attendance giving a welcome boost ahead of the trip to Paris.
There are only a few days left for the Liverpool season, and all to close with the most important club football match.
And as part of the club’s media day before the final, an open training session was held in Kirkby to allow the media to see how the Reds were being tested.
The day began with birthday applause for Ibrahima Konate on her 23rd birthday, before Fabinho and Joe Gomez brightened the day for Liverpool fans with their presence following their respective injury concerns.
The pair seemed to move freely throughout each exercise, with Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah equally at ease after their respective fitness strokes over the past few weeks.
The Dutchman, in particular, was not shy about showing off his range of camera finishes.
Fabinho’s presence is a major boost for Jurgen Klopp, as the Brazilian told reporters on Wednesday that he “will be ready” for Saturday.
And now Thiago is facing a race against the clock after an Achilles injury on Sunday, he did not attend the outdoor session but was busy in the gym with physiotherapist Lee Nobes .
It remains to be seen if the Spaniard can show up, but Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita are ready as part of an otherwise healthy midfield contingent.
There were a lot of smiles from the team and the coach.
But there were also faces concentrated in abundance.
In particular, neuro11 was on the Kirkby scene working with the team, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson in particular working on dead ball situations with neuroscientists.
There were also several interested spectators, Jamie Carragher was one, while Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards and his future substitute Julian Ward were also watching alongside the head coach Barry Hunter.
A third European Cup final in five seasons awaits you in three days, what a time to be red.
