Liverpool stars hit the training ground again, a week after they should have been celebrating winning their first league title for 30 years.
Without the coronavirus pandemic, the players would have embarked on a victory parade through the streets of Liverpool this week.
Instead, they were working out in preparation for a return to action in June, when two more wins from their remaining nine games will guarantee the silverware.
Among the Liverpool stars going through their paces were star forward Mohamed Salah, captain Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane and wing back Andy Robertson.
It took a global health emergency to halt Liverpool’s title charge. Jurgen Klopp’s team had surged an unprecedented 25 points clear of Manchester City before the league was abruptly suspended in March.
The Premier League has government backing to pursue playing again in a month, and approved group training from Monday.

Tearful appearance
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.
