Arne Slot will finally get a chance to implement his playing style with a full contingent to choose from in the coming days.

A number of senior Liverpool stars enjoyed an extended pre-season break after playing in the Copa America and the Euros respectively.

Alexis Mac Allister returned to pre-season training on August 2nd. We exclusively revealed his return date on July 20.

Many Liverpool supporters are wondering when stars such as Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Darwin Núñez,  and Luis Diaz will return to the fold.

Alexis Mac Allister played in the Copa America final, this lead to some suggestions that other players should have also returned sooner. Regardless of anyone’s opinion, it’s important that Liverpool have a fresh squad to challenge on all fronts next season.

Slot confirms return date for stars

After speaking to the media before Liverpool’s game against Manchester United in South Carolina, Slot confirmed when the rest of the squad will return.

“On Tuesday all the other players arrive as well, so we want to start off then with all the players available and we didn’t want to take any risk with him today”, Slot said when asked about Szoboszlai’s absence. The Hungarian missed the game in the US with fatigue.

So there we have it, in just a couple of days the whole Liverpool side will be back to work again Kirkby.
