As Luis Daz and Darwin Nez train in Thailand, Liverpool's predicted line-up for Manchester United has been confirmed
Liverpool's squad is training at Thailand's Rajamangala Stadium.
Liverpool trained ahead of their pre-season friendly against Manchester United in Bangkok's Rajamangala Stadium, with Jürgen Klopp in charge and many of the club's big names taking part, including Darwin Nez and Virgil van Dijk.
Diogo Jota trained with the squad but is unlikely to play against Manchester United on Tuesday. He stated earlier on Monday that he is still recovering from a minor injury sustained while on international duty this summer.
The Portugal forward, on the other hand, is not expected to be out for long, and the fact that he was training here suggests that he may even play. Even if no risks are taken with his fitness, he will play against Crystal Palace later this week.
"I still need to complete the final steps to be fully integrated into the team, so that is probably too soon. But I'll be ready very soon, I promise "Jota told the official Liverpool website.
Luis Daz, Fábio Carvalho, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, and Joe Gomez are expected to play heavily against Manchester United, despite having been in training for a full week.
'Too soon,' Liverpool's £45 million player says he won't play against Manchester United tomorrow.
Diogo Jota believes Liverpool's game against Manchester United tomorrow will be too soon for him to play.
Jota was asked by Liverpoolfc.com if he would start against Manchester United in Bangkok. But the Portuguese was skeptical that he'd make it in time.
"Probably too soon," the 25-year-old said. "Also, because I was with the national team, I just returned yesterday as well, so I still need to do the last steps to be 100% with the team, so that is probably too soon." "However, I will be ready very soon."
There is no doubt that this is the first game of the preseason there’s absolutely no need for Jurgen Klopp to risk last season’s third top scorer. Even if he’s given the all-clear by the fitness team, he’s unlikely to be involved.
