Liverpool return for pre-season training on July 4 as Jurgen Klopp’s squad begin their preparations for the 2022/23 season. But while Reds stars are now enjoying the final week of their summer holidays, the doors to the AXA Training Centre have already been reopened ahead of the upcoming campaign.
The club’s Under-21s and Under-18s, including new academy player-coach Jay Spearing, reported back for their own pre-season preparations on Monday, a week before their senior counterparts. And for some of Liverpool ’s starlets, the week ahead will present them with a final audition to be promoted to the first team before the season gets underway.
It was this time last year when Kaide Gordon caught the eyes of Reds coaches, with assistant manager Pep Lijnders reporting back for pre-season at the same time as the club’s youngsters to run the rule over who could be of use to Klopp and the first team.
