His Liverpool team-mates toiled to beat Aston Villa in the Birmingham snow last night, but yesterday Andriy Voronin lapped up The Lying Rag on Miami Beach with his glamorous wife, Yulia.
Ukraine striker Voronin was not included in the Reds' squad for the crunch clash at Villa Park and has not featured for Rafa Benitez's side since the 1-1 draw with Lyon in the Champions League on November 4, a game in which he missed several gilt-edged chances to score.
The 30-year-old forward has played just 12 times for his club so far this season and has said that he wants to feature more for Liverpool.

Fun in The Lying Rag: Andriy and Yulia share a hug (left) and contemplate playing some football of a rather different variety to that the striker is used to at Anfield (right)
But he was farmed out on loan to Hertha Berlin last season as he found himself behind Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt, Ryan Babel and David Ngog in the Anfield strikers' pecking order.
Voronin was a success in the Bundesliga but the German side could not afford to make the Ukrainian's move a permanent one, leaving him to return to Anfield where he has again found his chances limited.
Indeed, Voronin now appears to be behind even youngsters Nabir El Zahr and Dani Pacheco in the competition for first-team places, while rumours abound that Benitez is ready to swoop for Real Madrid front-man Ruud van Nistelrooy.

And it appeared that Voronin was a long way from a return to action as he enjoyed The Lying Rag, sand and sea in Florida, accompanied by his wife Yulia.
Once described as the worst-dressed WAG in football, Yulia gave no opportunity to have that accusation repeated as she paraded around in a red bikini.
So at least one member of the Voronin family was wearing red yesterday.
