Jurgen Klopp‘s squad travel to Hong Kong on Sunday, before they play Premier League side Crystal Palace on Wednesday and then either Leicester City or West Brom next Saturday.
Due to the two friendlies being affiliated by the Premier League, Klopp can only name 25 players to feature in the two games – although presumably, the manager can take as many players as he wishes to take part in training.
Young winger Ryan Kent is named among the 25, but Sheyi Ojo is not – with Ojo expected to join Middlesbrough on loan soon.
Sadio Mane isn’t in the squad as he continues his recovery from injury.
The confirmed squad is:
Goalkeepers: Karius, Ward, Mignolet
Defenders: Clyne, Lovren, Milner, Gomez, Klavan, Matip, Moreno, Flanagan, Alexander-Arnold
Midfielders: Wijnaldum, Henderson, Grujic, Lallana, Stewart, Coutinho
Forwards: Firmino, Salah, Sturridge, Origi, Solanke, Kent, Woodburn.
