Jurgen Klopp led the squad, which included captain, Jordan Henderson, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum in an impromptu ‘Happy Birthday’ singalong, which is sure to have been appreciated by Gerrard, who the outlet suggest was likely to be watching on at home.

It’s precisely this type of camaraderie which seems to shine through from Liverpool at the moment.
