Liverpool are set to begin pre-season training on July 8 with a small squad, as 15 of their first-team players have been called up for international duty. These players include imminent signing Alexis Mac Allister, who will complete his switch from Brighton this week and join the Argentina squad to play Australia and Indonesia later this month. Other senior players called up include Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold (England), Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo (Netherlands), Mo Salah (Egypt), Diogo Jota (Portugal), Alisson (Brazil) and Ibrahima Konate (France). Luis Diaz has returned to the Colombia squad for the first time since September, while Andy Robertson (Scotland), Kostas Tsimikas (Greece) and Caoimhin Kelleher (Republic of Ireland) have also been called up. The other two first-teamers on duty are Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott, who are part of the England squad at the U21 Euros. If England progress to the latter stages of the tournament in Romania and Georgia, Jones and Elliott could miss a large portion of pre-season, with the final held on July 8.
Youth players also on international duty this summer include Sepp van den Berg (Netherlands) and Vitezslav Jaros (Czech Republic) for the U21 Euros, Ben Doak (Scotland U21s), Lewis Koumas (Wales U19s) and Josh Davidson (England U18s). Conor Bradley is expected to be named in the Northern Ireland squad to play Denmark and Kazakhstan in two qualifiers for Euro 2024, while Owen Beck and Tom Hill were both invited to a training camp with Wales under-21s earlier this summer. Jarell Quansah was part of the England squad that reached the last 16 of the U20 World Cup.
