This week, Liverpool is starting their pre-season tour in the United States. Unfortunately, their star player Andy Robertson will not be joining them for their matches against Real Betis, Arsenal, and Manchester United. The team will kick off their American tour against Betis on Friday night, followed by friendly games against Arsenal and United in Philadelphia and South Carolina respectively.
Robertson sustained an ankle injury while playing for Scotland in the Euro 2024 tournament, which unfortunately ended early for them in the group stages. He is expected to recover and join the team towards the end of their US tour. Liverpool's manager, Slot, has confirmed that Robertson is not yet fully fit, but they are hoping to have him back in action after the tour.
In total, Liverpool will be missing 11 players for their tour, as many of them are still on their summer breaks after participating in Euro 2024 and the Copa America. This includes Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, Ryan Gravenberch, Ibrahima Konate, Luis Diaz, Alisson Becker, and Darwin Nunez.
However, there is some good news as forward Diogo Jota is expected to join the team this week, and Slot is anticipating more players to arrive before they return to Liverpool. He also mentioned that Konate and Gravenberch will join the team later in the trip, and the rest of the players will start training after the tour.
There have been rumors swirling about Alexander-Arnold potentially moving to Real Madrid, as his contract with Liverpool is set to expire next summer. When asked about this, Slot gave a diplomatic response and stated that he does not discuss contract situations.
Liverpool will begin their Premier League season on 17 August with an away game against newly-promoted Ipswich Town. As they prepare for the upcoming season, the team will also continue to keep an eye on the transfer market and any potential new signings.
