Liverpool winger Ben Doak was unable to participate in the club’s friendly match against Yokohama F. Marinos due to visa issues. Specifically, Doak was unable to obtain the necessary visa to travel to Japan in time for the fixture. This absence was not related to any transfer speculation or potential moves but was purely down to passport and visa formalities that could not be resolved promptly[3].

The article highlights the challenges Liverpool face with international travel and player availability when it comes to non-EU countries like Japan. Doak’s situation underscores how administrative issues such as visas can affect squad selection for overseas tours and friendlies, separate from the player’s status or club plans[3].

Additionally, Ben Doak’s future remains a topic of interest, as Liverpool may consider offers for the young Scottish talent, with potential transfer activity expected during the summer. However, this particular absence in Japan was explicitly clarified as unrelated to any transfer dealings[1][3].

The article reflects on Liverpool’s busy summer transfer business, amidst squad changes and securing new signings, emphasizing that Doak’s visa complications were an isolated logistical matter rather than indicative of anything on the transfer front[1][3].
