Liverpool Set to Face Bayern Munich in Pre-Season Friendly
Liverpool are set to face six-time Champions of Europe Bayern Munich in their penultimate pre-season friendly, with manager Jurgen Klopp having a healthy selection of players to choose from.
The Reds will round off their tour of Singapore with a meeting with the German champions as they look to get themselves in the best possible shape for the new season. Klopp brought a 27-man squad with him to Southeast Asia to continue 2023/24 preparations, down five from the 32-strong group that travelled to Germany earlier this summer.
Who is Available for Liverpool vs. Bayern Munich?
The vast majority of the squad will be available for the contest, with Alisson having made a full recovery from a minor finger injury. He sat out Liverpool’s pre-season opener with Karlsruher as a precaution, coming off the bench to play 30 minutes of the 4-0 win over Leicester.
Dominik Szoboszlai also featured in the second half against the Foxes, but his appearance was cut short with 10 minutes to go as he was replaced by Calum Scanlon. He is expected to be fit for Wednesday, with the manager simply choosing to not take any chances on this occasion.
Melkamu Frauendorf has made a recovery from his knee injury and came on for a brief cameo against Leicester as he replaced Jarell Quansah, who could be a doubt for Bayern Munich after picking up a slight knock.
Thiago and Stefan Bajcetic remained at home for the pre-season tour of Southeast Asia as they continue to work on individual rehabilitation programs.
