Two Liverpool players are expected to join up with their teammates in America this week, while another bid for Sepp van den Berg has been rejected.
Gravenberch & Konate set for return
Little by little, Liverpool’s pre-season squad is growing, with players returning at different times after international commitments.
On Monday, Ryan Gravenberch is expected back in the fold, having enjoyed some downtime after Euro 2024, followed by Ibrahima Konate on Tuesday.
Both players reached the semi-finals with the Netherlands and France respectively, although neither made a single appearance at the tournament.
It is unlikely that Gravenberch and Konate will feature against Arsenal in Philadelphia in the early hours of Thursday, as they will likely by eased back in by Arne Slot.
