Double fitness boost for Reds

The Reds were impressive in reaching the Carabao Cup fourth round with a 7-0 triumph against Barnsley on Tuesday night and manager Erik ten Hag could have more options available soon.

Both Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund trained with the group at Carrington, with our photographers capturing the pair working hard to prove they are ready to return to action.

Mount was in the starting line-up for the Premier League games against Fulham and Brighton & Hove Albion but was withdrawn at half-time of the away contest with the Seagulls.

The midfielder had also performed well in the Community Shield encounter with Manchester City and been a dynamic presence.

Hojlund, meanwhile, has not featured in a competitive game yet this term.

The Denmark striker was looking sharp in pre-season, scoring against Arsenal during the US tour, but picked up a hamstring problem in the same match.

After making progress with his rehabilitation, our new no.9 will be itching to get back with our free-flowing team scoring 10 times in our last two fixtures. 

Look out for more pictures from the session at Carrington from 10:00 BST on Thursday.
