Liverpool players Mamadou Sakho and Sheyi Ojo spend koala-ty time with locals

Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho and midfielder Sheyi Ojo were involved in a warm, if slightly creepy, embrace with two cute koalas - Mackenzie and India - during their team's summer tour in Australia.

The two Reds players can be seen posing with the two Australian animals for a few quick photos, and if Ojo seems strangely comfortable with his koala, Sakho is a little less so.

In fact the defender had quite a bit of trouble finding a comfortable position for his furry friend, struggling to get his camera-shy companion to face the camera.
