Liverpool have named a 29-man squad for their pre-season tour to Hong Kong and Japan.

The Reds began their pre-season games last Sunday with a match against Preston North End.

They also held a behind-closed-door pre-season match at the club’s AXA Training Center today (Sunday) against Stoke City.

The likes of Darwin Nunez, Federico Chiesa and youngster Rio Ngumoha starred in the game, as the Reds beat the Potters 5-1.

Thereafter, Liverpool staff and players departed for their pre-season tour to Asia, which will see Arne Slot’s side face AC Milan and Yokohama F?

Marinos.

The club has now announced the full travelling squad for the Asian tour.

“Liverpool have named a 29-man squad for their pre-season tour to Hong Kong and Japan,” a statement on the club’s official website read.

The players selected for the tour include: Alisson, Gomez, Endo, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Salah, Jones, Gakpo, Elliott, Tsimikas, Robertson, Gravenberch, Doak, Woodman, Mamardashvili, Kerkez, Wirtz, Frimpong, Pecsi, Ngumoha, Misciur, Morton, Bradley, Stephenson, Nyoni.

Interestingly, Federico Chiesa, who was on the score sheet in Liverpool’s pre-season win over Stoke City on Sunday was conspicuously omitted from the squad.

The Italian has been linked with a move away from Liverpool this summer, with Serie A side Napoli thought to be keen on landing him.

He is expected to leave this summer so Arne Slot has elected not to include him in the travelling squad.
