Liverpool Embarks on US Tour with 31-Man Squad

Liverpool's squad departed last night for the USA, where they will conduct the first phase of their pre-season training and play friendlies against Sunderland, Wrexham, and Leeds. The traveling party includes Giovanni Leoni, Hugo Ekitike, and Conor Bradley, all of whom are at various stages of recovery from long-term injuries. They will continue their rehabilitation in the States. The same applies to Wataru Endo, Stefan Bajcetic, and Vitezslav Jaros, who are also recovering from their respective injuries.

New signing Jeremy Jacquet is available and already training at full intensity.

Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Ryan Gravenberch are set to join the squad before the second match, while Alisson Becker is expected to link up with the team before the last of these initial three fixtures. Virgil Van Dijk and Cody Gakpo will receive extended breaks, and Alexis Mac Allister, along with another new acquisition, Victor Muñoz, will only begin pre-season training next month.

With so many first-team regulars absent, Andoni Iraola has bolstered the squad with a significant number of academy players.

Here is the full squad: Gomez, Endo, Jacquet, Kerkez, Szoboszlai, Bradley, Chiesa, Leoni, Jones, Elliott, Tsimikas, Ekitike, Mamardashvili, Woodman, Frimpong, Abe, Nioni, Bajcetic, Chambers, Ramsey, Scanlon, McConnell, Jaros, Koumas, Morrison, Ngumoua, Wright, Hall, Sonni-Lambie, Ndukwe, Davies.
