Liverpool quartet turn their hands to baking after losing team game

Liverpool quartet Virgil van Dijk, Naby Keita, Daniel Sturridge and Andrew Robertson turn their hands to baking as forfeit after losing team tournament

Liverpool stars Virgil van Dijk, Naby Keita, Andy Robertson and Daniel Sturridge donned their aprons and baked up a storm for their team-mates after losing a training ground competition.

The quartet, plus youngster Curtis Jones and fitness coach Conall Murtagh, spent their time after Wednesday's training session rustling up carrot cakes under the watchful eye of head of nutrition Mona Nemmer.

While the six were put to work in the training ground canteen, Sadio Mane,Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino watched on with glee.

Nemmer and her team of kitchen staff laid out vast quantities of ingredients for the losers to work with, and were on hand to keep them on task throughout.

Vast quantities of carrots and oranges were sliced and diced up to add to the mixture as the players got their hands dirty.

Several more turned up during their task to take photos and inspect their progress after losing the aptly-named Melwood Cake Baking Tournament.

The results of their labours will be served up to team-mates and training ground staff on Thursday morning.

Liverpool have been flying on the pitch this season, recording three wins from their first three fixtures.

Next up they face a visit to Leicester, who have made an encouraging start under Claude Puel.

Yet with Manchester City dropping points at Wolves last weekend, Jurgen Klopp's men will be keen to press home their advantage early in the season.

A history of training ground bust-ups between teammates

The row between Sergio Ramos and Sergio Reguilon during Real Madrid's training on Monday was just one of the many that have occurred over the years between teammates. Some of these cooled down relatively quickly, but others led to the intervention of other colleagues to relieve the tension. Here you can find some of the most notorious arguments that have taken place at training during the last couple of decades. Nelson Semedo's challenge against Neymar frustrated the Brazilian, who exploded against his teammate. After the intervention of Sergio Busquets and Javier Mascherano, the current Paris Saint-Germain forward stormed out the session after ripping off his training kit. A teammate threw the ball towards Dani Carvajal's face and the Spaniard, enraged by his colleagues' action, kicked it back towards Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio.
