Diogo Jota was more than happy to intercept the pass of James Milner during a training round drill, ahead of the second-leg of the EFL Cup semi-final.

Ibou Konate, Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson and the vice captain were attempting to keep the ball away from Nat Phillips and our Portuguese forward.

As our No.7 attempted to play a pass between the two players in the middle he couldn’t get it past the 25-year-old forward, who stretched out a right leg to stop the ball.

The laughter that followed the interception was brilliant and shows a great amount of team unity within our star-studded squad.

It was a training session that was very much centred around the return of Harvey Elliott, with none more excited to see the 18-year-old than Jurgen Klopp.

It’s important the rest of the players are focused on helping get the club to Wembley and it certainly appears they will be.
