14 players are back for Liverpool’s preseason workouts, including two major additions.

Liverpool to welcome the likes of Mo Salah and Jordan Henderson alongside summer signings Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister return as 14 man to start pre-season

Liverpool will welcome a host of big names on Tuesday as preparations for the season accelerate.

Summer signings Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister are among 14 players who will return to the AXA Training Center ahead of the club’s pre-season tour. They had an extended hiatus due to their involvement with their respective countries over the summer.

Skipper Jordan Henderson returns alongside compatriot Trent Alexander-Arnold alongside Alisson Becker, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Caoimhin Kelleher, Ibrahima Konate, Alexis Mac Allister, Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah, Kostas Tsimikas and Virgil van Dijk.

English duo Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones, who both played lead roles for England in winning the Under-21 European Championships, have had more time off as their international commitments won’t end until the weekend. Last week, several men returned to Kirby’s training base, including Darwin Nunez and Thiago, who has been linked to a move to Saudi Arabia.

Edge players including Adrian and Nathaniel Phillips also returned to action alongside Fabinho, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.

The Merseyside side have five pre-season friendlies lined up, starting with matches in Germany against Karlsruher SC and Greuther Furth. Liverpool will then fly to Singapore, where they will face European heavyweights Bayern Munich and Leicester.

Then they return to the UK and play SV Darmstadt 98 in Deepdale. Jurgen Klopp will want to get his squad fit after pre-season to improve on last season’s underperformance.

The Reds drew their opener at Fulham as they went winless in their first three games of the season and eventually finished fifth.

That means they have to negotiate the Europa League, which will test their resources as they play on the Thursday ahead of the weekend clashes. However, Liverpool have successfully recovered from the difficult seasons of the past and should be in contention for the title once again.

Fabinho will get the chance to play with Mac Allister and Szoboszlai, who he believes will improve the squad immensely. He told the club’s website:

“It’s good to bring good players into this position because we’re going to need them. Because of the way we play, the intensity we play, we we still need not just three or four players in this position, but maybe six players.”

Position [in the squad]. So yeah, it’s good to have those two players with us now. We We’ve played before, so we know how good they are. It’s good to have him in the team.”

Liverpool might make a massive Kylian Mbappe trade exchange offer of four players.

Liverpool are linked with a transfer of Kylian Mbappe and Express Sport are looking for who could go in the opposite direction.

Liverpool could offer a number of players in exchange for Kylian Mbappe. The Reds have reportedly made a huge offer to Paris Saint-Germain to sign the rebel’s contract

Mbappe’s contract with PSG expires in a year. The French club don’t want to lose any of the best players in the world on a free transfer.

Clubs across Europe are awaiting a potential deal for the French superstar. Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre told El Chiringuito TV earlier this week that Liverpool have made a bid worth around £170million.

The Reds could instead try to offer the players to sign Mbappe. Express Sport are eyeing four potential Anfield stars who could be used in a cashier player transfer.

Thiago Alcantara

Liverpool are rebuilding their midfield and have already made two signings in this area. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have joined and Jurgen Klopp may not be done with it.

Thiago struggled with injuries last season and some think the Premier League may be too soon for him at the age of 32.

The Spaniard could do another job for PSG in the French league and gain Champions League winning experience.

Fabinho

Fabinho had his worst season in a Liverpool shirt last season. Neither Mac Allister nor Szoboszlai are defensive midfielders, so he should be replaced when he leaves.

Klopp will have to make a decision if he believes Fabinho can return to the form he showed in his first four years at the club. If not, he can try to sell him to PSG

Diogo Jota

Jota missed part of last season with injury and was only in the regular starter in the last phase of the season. He has found form in front of goal, with braces against Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Southampton.

However, Mbappé’s arrival would make it more difficult for him to earn regular playing time. At 26 he could be an attractive proposition for PSG.

Darwin Nunez

Ok, maybe it’s too early to consider Darwin a Liverpool player. He certainly showed a taste of his potential in his first season in English football.

However, he fell out of favor in the second half of the campaign. There would be no place for him and Mbappe in the Liverpool squad and he could take a significant chunk of the transfer fee PSG would demand.
