Liverpool's Andy Robertson has made a swift return to Twitter and appeared in good spirits as he announced his comeback with a joke.
The left-back posted a photograph of himself smiling with Virgil van Dijk wrapping his arms around him, taken from a Melwood training session on Friday.
The Dutch international's head is resting just above the Scot's and Robertson included a light-hearted caption of: “The big man enjoying my new shampoo. #YNWA”
Robertson deactivated his account after Liverpool's 2-0 defeat to Napoli in the first game of their Champions League defence and there was some suggestion this was in response to some abusive messages the 25-year-old had received after he was adjudged to have fouled Jose Callejon to give away a hotly-disputed penalty late in the second half.
Thousands of fans subsequently messaged Robertson to offer him their support while fellow full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, spoke on the matter and said: “He's mentally a really strong character, so I'm sure whatever reason he had for doing that was for the best for him.
“So, I think whenever we see each other next, it will be obviously to see how he is, make sure that nothing is too bad.
“I think all the lads would have texted him and spoken to him, to make sure everything is OK.”

Did Robertson score the free kick in Chelsea game? Isn’t he is the man of the match? Or did I see him on the field?

VVD changes his diapers in every game far too Long. The truth of his ability showed in the Scotland game where he can’t do anything right.

He deactivated it because he keeps stumbling upon porn by mistake and wants nothing to do with that satanist agenda. Be like Andrew.

If he did get abused, it's just more of the idiocy we've seen ringing around clubs this season. Players are people, too, but idiots on twitter think there's anonymity to scream whatever they want. All of the racist abuse that we've seen so far against Tammy, Rashford, Pogba, Lulu, and maybe a couple of others, it's just...

There's no reason he should get any a abuse! What he has done in a Liverpool shirt is amazing.. a club legend already.. and it was not a penalty. Any 'Liverpool ' fan giving him abuse are not a true fans, trolling cunts but unfortunately every club has them

The true fans who go to the stadium never resort to these kind of activities. Twitter is and has always been a mess. It's good if the players stay away from these social media platforms.

I'm glad Vettel doesn't use social media. Can you imagine the abuse he might be getting for his mistakes over the last one year.
