Harvey Elliott says Liverpool have hit the ground running at their Dubai training camp as the Reds look to kick-start their Premier League campaign once the World Cup has come to a close.
And the 19-year-old has also revealed the positive impact that Kostas Tsimikas has had on him, after spending time away with the Greek defender on holiday during the unusual mid-season break from club football.
Jurgen Klopp has taken a 33-man squad to the Middle East, minus the players who have been involved in the World Cup in Qatar. Aside from training, Liverpool will also participate in the Dubai Super Cup with games against Lyon and AC Milan. Elliott recognises that the first three months of the current campaign have not gone as well as the squad would have liked, but they are already laying the seeds for improvement with what is effectively a second pre-season in Dubai.
