Four players absent from Liverpool training

Liverpool continued their preparations for Saturday’s game against Burnley on Thursday at their training base in Kirkby, but there were four notable absentees.

Midfield duo James Milner and Fabinho, who both played in the Reds’ 3-0 win over Norwich last week, were not featured as manager Jurgen Klopp put his players in their stride.

Although it is understood their absence is not a major concern for Liverpool.

Xherdan Shaqiri and Ben Woodburn are also absent as both have been linked with a move away from Anfield in recent weeks.

Shaqiri is the subject of interest from French club Lyon, who made an offer for the Swiss international early last week, but it was far from the price Liverpool were asking.

But Liverpool got a triple boost with three key players back in action.
