Liverpool’s pre-season tour draws to a close after Wednesday’s friendly against Yokohama F. Marinos, and Arne Slot will be keen to oversee a victory in Japan off the back of a 4–2 defeat to Milan.
The Reds’ touring squad has been hampered by injuries but bolstered by fresh faces, with Florian Wirtz making his first start for the club in Saturday’s loss. Now, excited Liverpool supporters are readying themselves for Hugo Ekitiké’s first appearance in red.
Luis Díaz has flown back to Europe to finalise his move to Bayern Munich, while Joe Gomez has returned to Merseyside after picking up an Achilles injury. However, Slot has confirmed the returns of a couple of absent stars from the Milan defeat for Wednesday’s friendly.
Here’s how Liverpool could line up against the J1 League strugglers.
