Dejan Lovren returned to the Melwood pitches on Thursday as Liverpool continued preparations for their weekend meeting with Arsenal.

The centre-back, who has missed the Reds' last three outings due to a knee problem, put himself in contention to face the Gunners as he joined his teammates for a session this afternoon.

Check out a selection of pictures of the lads being put through their paces below.
