Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara both continued their quest for fitness as they featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly for Liverpool.
The duo, who only returned to action in brief cameos during the Reds' final friendly against Osasuna last Monday, came through 80 minutes as the Reds beat an Aston Villa side 4-1 at Anfield on Sunday.
Both had featured at Euro 2020, with Thiago missing part of pre-season with a muscle injury and Henderson only resuming training with his team-mates after their return from the camp in Evian.
The pair were left out of the squad for the opening Premier League win at Norwich City at Saturday to instead continuing working on Merseyside.
Divock Origi, who was on the bench at Carrow Road, scored against Villa, with Neco Williams, Curtis Jones and 16-year-old Kaide Gordon also netting.
Jones was absent against Norwich due to Premier League concussion protocols having been forced off against Osasuna with a head injury.
Gordon, meanwhile, was included in the line-up for the friendly rather than feature for either of the Academy sides that played at Kirkby over the weekend.
Ibrahima Konate, Takumi Minamino, Owen Beck and Harvey Elliott - who made a late cameo at Norwich - were also among those who played.
