Jordan Henderson, Simon Mignolet and Dejan Lovren are set to return to Melwood in the coming days to begin pre-season training.

The trio have been afforded extended time off after their respective countries’ performances in the World Cup.

Henderson and Mignolet will report on Sunday morning, while Lovren will be back at the training facility on Monday.

Their first days back will consist of physical testing before they’re eased back into training alongside their teammates over the course of the week.
