**Liverpool to Begin Pre-Season Minus Key Players Due to International Commitments**
**Arne Slot Faces Initial Test with Understaffed Squad**
Liverpool is set to kick off their pre-season training in early July without several key senior players. Up to 12 players might be occupied with the European Championships in Germany, while Alisson Becker, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Alexis Mac Allister are expected to participate in the Copa America, potentially leading to a total of 16 absences.
Newly appointed head coach Arne Slot will have to navigate his first match with a significantly changed lineup compared to the one that will start the Premier League season on August 17.
Liverpool’s pre-season tour will see them face Real Betis, Arsenal, and Manchester United in the United States between July 27 and August 4.
While the complete pre-season schedule is yet to be disclosed, the team is anticipated to train for two weeks before embarking on the US tour.
Due to the European Championships and Copa America finals on July 14, players advancing to the semi-finals will not be available for the US fixtures.
Slot will depend on those not involved in international duties and players returning from loan spells.
With Alisson representing Brazil and Adrian out of contract, Caoimhin Kelleher, despite his uncertain future, is likely to start as goalkeeper.
Conor Bradley and Kostas Tsimikas are expected to take the full-back positions, with Jarell Quansah likely filling in at center-back if he misses out on England’s final Euro 2024 squad.
Quansah’s partner could be one among Nat Phillips, Sepp van den Berg, Rhys Williams, or youth players like Luke Chambers and Amara Nallo.
In the midfield, Harvey Elliott, who was not selected for England, is set to be a crucial player.
Wataru Endo might start at the defensive midfield position, depending on his potential involvement in the Olympics, with Curtis Jones available if he’s not picked for England’s final squad. Other options include Bobby Clark and Tyler Morton.
Mohamed Salah is expected to captain Slot’s first team, with Fabio Carvalho possibly starting on the left wing.
Given the absence of other forwards, Jayden Danns might lead the attack, or Salah could move to a central role, allowing Kaide Gordon or Ben Doak to feature on the right.
Slot’s initial Liverpool starting lineup could potentially be: Kelleher; Bradley, Quansah, Phillips, Tsimikas; Elliott, Endo, Clark; Salah, Danns, Carvalho.
This pre-season will be vital for Slot to evaluate his squad and integrate any new signings, with the transfer window opening on June 14.
Liverpool supporters will be eager to see how Slot handles his first challenge with a limited roster and prepares the team for the forthcoming Premier League season.
