As introductions go, it was a far from comfortable one for Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai on Tuesday on their first day on the job at Liverpool.
The pair reported for duty for day one of the pre-season schedule at their new clubs following their international exertions last month for Argentina and Hungary, respectively.
Mac Allister became a Reds player in early June when World Cup winner was snared from Brighton & Hove Albion for a fee of £35m before Szoboszlai's £60m release clause at RB Leipzig was triggered on June 30.
