Liverpool return to pre-season training on Monday but with a number of noticeable players missing.
Nineteen players will be present at the AXA training centre with 11 first-team players expected to taking part in initial medical examinations and fitness assessments. Some new players will be available, with Calvin Ramsey and Fabio Carvalho getting their first glimpse of life under Jurgen Klopp.
Adrian, Ben Davies, Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott, Roberto Firmino, Joe Gomez, captain Jordan Henderson, Caoimhin Kelleher, Ibrahima Konate, Joel Matip, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Nat Phillips, Thiago, Neco Williams, Rhys Williams and Sepp Van den Berg are the other players in through the door on the first day of pre-season.

But following the conclusion of the Premier League, there was a full set of international fixtures with plenty of Reds players representing their national sides. The extended season for them meant that they were granted extra time off during the summer and won't be returning to Merseyside until July 9.
Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kostas Tsimikas, Fabinho, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and summer signing Darwin Nunez will all return for the flight to Thailand at the start of next week.
With a game against Manchester United on July 12, it is unlikely that the latter group will feature in the first friendly but could return for the match against Crystal Palace on July 15. Following the Palace tie, Liverpool will then travel to Germany to take on RB Leipzig on July 21 and Austria to take on Red Bull Salzburg on July 27.
