LIVERPOOL trio Andy Robertson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner teamed up in the golf Dubai Desert Classic Pro-Am.

With the Premier League on a break until February 5, and most of the division's top stars not away with their country, some are taking the opportunity to use their clubs.

And Dubai seems to be a popular destination to get 18 holes in at the Majlis Course at The Emirates Golf Club.

Everton's Jordan Pickford and Manchester United captain Harry Maguire also swapped the boots for golf clubs and were paired with Ryan Fox.

The England heroes were also pictured alongside former Open winner Shane Lowry.

The title-chasing trio were played with the 2011 Masters winner Charl Schwartzel as they looked to get the better of the likes of Ian Poulter, Henrik Stenson and Danny Willett.

Liverpool are not back in action until February 6 when they take on Cardiff City in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup.

And by the time they're back in Premier League action against Leicester on February 10, Jurgen Klopp could have all his Afcon players back.
