Fernando Torres returns to Liverpool to shadow Jurgen Klopp in training after Xabi Alonso confirms his commitment to Bayer Leverkusen

Fernando Torres has returned to Liverpool to shadow Jurgen Klopp for the day while the team were in training ahead of their game against Brighton on Sunday.

Klopp is leaving Anfield at the end of the season, which has sparked rampant speculation about his replacement - but it won't be Xabi Alonso, after he reaffirmed his long-term commitment to Bayer Leverkusen.

Torres, who was a Liverpool player from 2007 until 2011, and currently managing the under-19s at Atletico Madrid, was at the club's training ground on Friday to meet players like Mo Salah, and shadow the manager.
