James Milner decides to stay at home during winter break as he spurns chance to go on holiday in favour of cheering on Liverpool's kids to FA Cup replay win over Shrewsbury

Dubai, the Maldives and Miami... Liverpool's first teamers have been enjoying the high life as they soak up the sun on their winter break.

But one Reds star has opted to stay put in chilly England, as James Milner was spotted cheering on the club's brave starlets in the FA Cup as they put League Two Shrewsbury to the sword in the senior side's absence.

Jurgen Klopp vowed to honour his promise of a winter break to his senior Liverpool players after they squandered a two-goal lead against the Shrews in the reverse tie and said the youth team would play instead - provoking criticism and debate from around the country.
