Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is set to be working with just a fraction of his senior squads as the Reds begin their pre-season preparations.
The Merseysiders are due to return to the club’s training base on Friday as they turn their attentions to the 2023/24 Premier League campaign. However, it isn’t exactly a heaving selection at Klopp’s disposal.
It has been confirmed that just eight players will report for action. That includes established first-team stars such as Fabinho, Joe Gomez, Darwin Nunez, Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara. Academy graduate Nathaniel Phillips is among the group despite looking set to leave the club this summer, whilst Stefan Bajcetic has also reported for action.
