Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino made his return to training on Thursday night - much to the delight of his team-mates.
The Reds number nine has been absent since picking up a hamstring injury in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid at the start of November.
Firmino’s return has come at a favourable time for Reds boss Jurgen Klopp with fixtures coming thick and fast during the hectic Christmas period.
Andf Virgil van Dijk was clearly excited to see he Brazilian striker back on the training pitch.
In a video on Liverpool's website, the Dutchman said: "Bobby, Naby, Joe - beautiful. What a sight."

Joe Gomez and Naby Keita had also been on the sidelines with injuries before they made their comebacks in the San Siro as Liverpool beat AC Milan 2-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
In Firmino’s absence, Diogo Jota filled in alongside Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah as Liverpool won six of the seven games he missed.
Firmino may find himself on the bench for the visit of Aston Villa to Anfield on Saturday - if he reacts well to the team training.
Klopp will be without Salah and Mane in January as the Africa Cup of Nations takes place so the timing of Firmino’s return from injury couldn’t have been better.
