It’s poised to be a summer with a difference for Liverpool this summer with Jurgen Klopp finding himself in the rather rare position of knowing he will have his entire first team squad back for the first day of a full pre-season training programme.
With the 2022 World Cup not taking place in Qatar until November, the Reds’ international stars won’t required staggered return dates following delayed holidays, leaving the German’s squad in a strong position to hit the ground running next term.
However, a greater number of senior players being available could limit the opportunity for some of Liverpool ’s younger stars to link up with the first team and take part in warm-up fixtures once pre-season gets underway.
