The Reds players who have been on international duty during the summer will then get their schedule under way on Tuesday July 11.

Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones will join up at a later date following their participation in the U21 European Championship with England.

Klopp’s men will play five pre-season friendlies in the coming weeks, beginning with matches against Karlsruher SC and Greuther Furth in Germany.

Liverpool then face Leicester City and Bayern Munich as part of their Singapore tour, before returning to the UK and meeting SV Darmstadt 98 at Deepdale.

Liverpool to step up preparations with 'super-important' training camp in Germany

Liverpool will step up their 2023-24 preparations on Saturday when they head to Germany for a training camp.

The Reds will be based in the southern state of Baden-Württemberg, where they will continue to work towards the start of the new campaign over the course of 10 days.

Liverpool will also face Karlsruher SC and Greuther Furth in friendly fixtures.

Jürgen Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com: “[It will be] super-important. Super, super-important. We have a lot of sessions there, not a lot of spare time, I would say. Two games, one in the middle, one at the end. Yeah, very important.

“So, there are now not too many new players but [we have] a lot of young players, of course, in and young players for who the door is open, who can play a different role next season. They are all a year older, looking really good – Conor Bradley looking really good, Ben Doak really good, Bobby Clark grew somehow, which is normal!

“They all can play a slightly different role if they want and yeah, how I said, there is an open door for that.

“So, bring it all together and train as much as somehow possible, having short ways back to the bed or to the canteen or restaurant, that’s good. Yeah, having two games and the first two games we play will be interesting, of course.”

After returning to the UK, Liverpool will head out to Singapore later in the week, where they will take on Leicester City and Bayern Munich.

The Reds’ final summer game will be against SV Darmstadt 98 at Deepdale on August 7.
