Unprompted, the Palace manager said, "Marc had a very small injury, but he will train with us on Sunday.

"Eddie Nketiah, the same, so we don't want to take any risk."

Hours after that update, Arne Slot confirmed Joe Gomez has returned home from the club's pre-season tour with an Achilles injury.

"He was, of course, with us for the first part of the week, but then he had some Achilles problems," Slot explained before Liverpool's pre-season friendly against Milan in Hong Kong.

"We thought it was better to assess it back in England and for him to work on it to come back to the team, probably in more ideal circumstances for him than being part of the group that every time goes out.

So, we decided to let him go back to England, but we hope and expect to have him back soon."

In his absence, Ryan Gravenberch started in central defence.

The Reds were already one centre-back down compared to last season after Bayer Leverkusen snapped-up Jarell Quansah - as part of a deal potentially worth as much as £35million.
