Long-term Liverpool absentees Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are joined by Fabinho in club's crowded treatment room as injured trio hit the weights on road to recovery

Liverpool centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez continued their recovery from long-term injuries following a session at the club's training centre.

Dutchman van Dijk suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in October's Merseyside derby, while Gomez ruptured his patella tendon while training with England back in November and was forced to undergo surgery.

The duo have missed a large chunk of the season but were all smiles at the Reds' new £50million AXA Training Centre in Kirby, and hit the weights to maintain and improve their strength.

The centre-backs were then put through a series of different drills in their individual rehab programmes, with van Dijk seen kicking a ball with a member of Liverpool's staff, and ball work was also on the agenda for team-mate Gomez.
