Liverpool take on German side Greuther Furth in their second friendly of pre-season, but Dominik Szoboszlai is unable to make an appearance.
Monday lunchtime brings a meeting between Liverpool and 2.Bundesliga outfit Greuther Furth, following their 4-2 win over Karlsruher.
The release of the Reds’ lineup came just under two hours before kickoff at the MS-Technologie-Stadium, with Alexis Mac Allister making his first start.
But absent from the teamsheet was Szoboszlai, who started against Karlsruher last time out but will not yet follow that up with a second friendly appearance.
The club have described his omission as a “precaution,” with journalist David Lynch reporting it came after the midfielder rolled his ankle in training.
Szoboszlai’s issue is only a minor injury but, understandably, no risks are being taken with the £60 million signing in a warmup friendly.
There is a hope that the Hungarian will be fit again for the meeting with Leicester in Singapore on Sunday, with his absence likely to be a matter of days.
Without his new No. 8, Jurgen Klopp has turned to Cody Gakpo as part of his starting midfield, the Dutchman filling in alongside Mac Allister and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The manager has shuffled his pack elsewhere, as Ben Doak starts on the right wing and Mohamed Salah takes a place on the bench.
It is likely that Klopp will make wholesale changes at half-time, as against Karlsruher, with opportunities for other youngsters such as James McConnell, Jarell Quansah, Calum Scanlon and Bobby Clark.
Melkamu Frauendorf could make his first outing of pre-season after missing the opening friendly with a minor fitness issue.
