I cheered myself up today by watching John Barnes in tight shorts.

Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho has travelled with the squad for their final Europa League group game against Sion in Switzerland.

The Brazil international has missed the last four matches with a hamstring injury but trained with the rest of the squad at Melwood before the team departed.
