On Friday afternoon Liverpool concluded their first pre-season tour in three years with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace. Following that win in Singapore, the Reds made their way back to Merseyside after their five-day stay in Southeast Asia, where they also played rivals Manchester United but were beaten 4-0.
For Jurgen Klopp, the tour marked the first part of Liverpool's pre-season preparations with a 37-man squad flying out for their first two games of the summer. However, the Reds' real preparations for the new campaign will be overseen in the coming weeks as they jet out to their favoured destination of Austria for a prolonged training camp, which will include games about RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg, the former in Germany.
It's expected that the squad that takes to Austria early next week will be significantly whittled down from the 37 players who took to Thailand and Singapore.
