Liverpool players are returning to pre-season this week as the stars who featured for their respective international teams head back to Merseyside.
The likes of Darwin Nunez, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Fabinho made their comeback to the AXA Training Centre on Saturday. Tuesday marks the return of Virgil van Dijk, Jordan Henderson as well as new signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
And the new faces may not be ending there. Romeo Lavia remains a player of interest and reports suggest Liverpool are moving for the Southampton midfielder.
Meanwhile, captain Jordan Henderson is facing rumoured questions over his future after the new midfield additions. Reports suggest that Steven Gerrard, who was recently appointed as Al Ettifaq manager, wants to bring the midfielder to the Saudi Pro League.

Jordan Henderson
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson would be reluctant to leave Anfield in order to join Steven Gerrard's Al Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League.
That is according to the Daily Mail who are reporting that the Reds icon faces disappointment in his bid to sign a former teammate. Both the England international and Chelsea outcast Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are said to be top targets of the ex-Aston Villa manager.
There had been exploratory talks between intermediaries acting on the behalf of the Saudi club and Henderson, they claim, but the outlet reports that the 33-year-old would be reluctant to join the league at this stage of his career.
As well as this, it has been suggested that Ettifaq would have to persuade Liverpool to allow Henderson to leave after the release of James Milner, Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Federico Chiesa
Gazzetta dello Sport have claimed that Liverpool and Newcastle would need to sell to buy Juventus forward Federico Chiesa.
The Italian's agent, Fali Ramadani, has reportedly been monitoring the Premier League in recent weeks to figure out who is interested in his client. Unai Emery's Aston Villa were initially 'approached' but it has been claimed that Villa Park didn't appeal to the former Fiorentina man.
There have been 'signs' of interest from both the Reds and the Magpies, the Italian outlet reports, but no concrete proposals. It has been said that the Turin club do not want to sell below €50m (£42m).
Their report continues to say that a move from the Premier League clubs named would accelerate only in the event of important exits with Mohamed Salah suggested as a departure - should Liverpool 'decide to surrender' to Saudi clubs.
Malcolm
French media outlet Foot Mercato are reporting that Liverpool are interested in signing Zenit Saint Petersburg winger Malcolm.
It has been claimed that the Reds appreciate the Brazilian who is said to be open to a move to Merseyside this summer. Although, Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly in the hunt to sign him.
Paris Saint-Germain were said to be interested in January and it's been suggested that he hopes the Ligue 1 giants renew their interest in him.
Romeo Lavia
Liverpool are moving closer in their pursuit of Romeo Lavia according to the Daily Mail.
It has been said that Southampton are looking to land a fee in excess of £45m for the Belgian as the Reds and Chelsea show interest with Arsenal and Manchester United lurking.
The Stamford Bridge outlet are reportedly focused on Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo but could divert their attention to the 19-year-old should their efforts for the Ecuadorian fail.
Liverpool are focusing on Lavia with their eyes set on Premier League progression in their efforts to build a younger squad.
Luiz Henrique
According to Fichajes, Liverpool are reportedly interested in Real Betis winger Luiz Henrique.
It has been said that the young forward has captured the attention of several European clubs after his debut season - including Jurgen Klopp and the Reds.
Aston Villa are among the clubs apparently rivalling Liverpool after the Brazilian endured a rollercoaster season with the La Liga outfit.
Klopp is said to want the Betis star with him seen as an alternative to Mohamed Salah and his first season in Spain has provided positive signs, the report claims. They continue to suggest that Klopp sees Henrique as a valid option this summer as the club focus on "more power offensive rotation".
There have been no bids as of yet, Fichajes say, but the Premier League interest remains.
