Serie A targets Daniel Sturridge and Emre Can train with Liverpool as boss Jurgen Klopp welcomes back Jordan Henderson and Virgil van Dijk for Swansea clash
- Daniel Sturridge and Emre Can have been strongly linked with moves to Italy
- Liverpool were training ahead of Monday night's trip to face Swansea City
- Virgil van Dijk and captain Jordan Henderson trained as they return from injury
Daniel Sturridge and Emre Can put transfer talk behind them at Melwood on Thursday as Liverpool were put through their paces ahead of Monday night's trip to struggling Swansea City.
The Liverpool duo have both been linked with moves to Italy's Serie A this month with Juventus keen to take midfielder Can, while Inter Milan want Sturridge on loan.
Can's contract with the Reds expires in the summer and for Sturridge, he wants to leave to gain more first-team minutes in a bid to enhance his England World Cup prospects.

With RB Leipzig standing firm on midfielder Naby Keita - he will join Liverpool in the summer rather than January - Klopp is unlikely to want to lose Can's tenacity in the middle of the park.
But Klopp was given a boost as he welcomed back £75m defender Virgil van Dijk, who joined from Southampton this month, after he sat out the 4-3 win over Manchester City due to a tight hamstring.
The January signing made an instant impact on his debut during the FA Cup Merseyside derby as he headed in the winning goal in the 2-1 win over Everton.
And the return of captain Jordan Henderson after four weeks on the sidelines will also be welcomed by Klopp as the Reds gear up for a big second half of the season.

Liverpool are aiming to build on Sunday's win over Pep Guardiola's side as they travel to Wales on Monday evening to take on Carlos Carvalhal's Swansea.
Having beaten Swansea 5-0 at Anfield while they were under the guidance of interim manager Leon Britton, the Reds will be firm favourites to return to Merseyside with three points.
But the Swans have lost just once in all competitions since the Portuguese Carvalhal took over five games ago and Klopp showed no let-up in intensity in training as his squad appeared in high spirits.
