Ahead of Liverpool's upcoming Asia tour, four notable players were absent from the travelling squad, fueling speculation about their futures with the club. The players missing from the group are Federico Chiesa, Calvin Ramsay, Rhys Williams, and Stefan Bajcetic.

Federico Chiesa's absence is particularly significant as it suggests he is likely to leave Liverpool this summer, potentially returning to Italy or moving elsewhere, given the ongoing transfer rumors surrounding him. The other three—Ramsay, Williams, and Bajcetic—are also not included, raising questions about their status and plans in the club’s strategy for the new season.

Meanwhile, Luis Diaz was also notably absent from a recent behind-closed-doors friendly squad against Stoke City, despite having been pictured training shortly before the match. Diaz's omission has drawn increased attention amid intensified transfer links to Bayern Munich, with no official injury update from Liverpool, adding more uncertainty about his future at the club.

These absences come as Liverpool begin pre-season preparations under manager Arne Slot, who is integrating new signings such as Florian Wirtz and pushing to solidify the squad for the coming campaign. Liverpool won their friendly against Stoke by a convincing 5-0 margin, featuring key performances from Darwin Nunez and others.
