Meanwhile, Endo actually commenced his career as a center-back in Japan, and he's appeared there on several occasions for Liverpool.

During the summer, while reflecting on his limited game time from the previous season, the 32-year-old suggested he might be utilized as a center-back option moving forward.

Throughout the Reds' pre-season tour of the Far East, Endo remarked: "I don't mind where I play

I just give 100 percent, even if I play number six or center-back or right-back

I played as a center-back when I played in Japan, so I don't mind which position I play, and I just give 100 percent every time."

Additionally, during a live question and answer session in his hometown of Kanagawa, he commented: "I think there's a high possibility that I'll play in various positions in the future, so I think it'll be fine if we can carry that over to the next stage."
