Marc Mayo19 July 2023

Dominik Szoboszlai makes his debut for Liverpool today in a pre-season friendly against Karlsruher.

The second-tier German side host Liverpool this afternoon to open their newly-renovated BBBank Wildpark stadium, an occasion which coincides with a training camp for the Reds in their manager’s home country.

Captain Jordan Henderson will not feature amid talk of a move to Saudi Arabia, which has also been offered to Fabinho with the Brazilian midfielder left out of Liverpool’s squad as a result.

Fellow midfielders Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara are continuing their recovery from injury in Germany and it is not known if they are fit enough to play.

Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott will join up with the Liverpool squad on Thursday after their exploits at the European Under-21 Championship, with Greuther Furth also on their fixture list before a tour of Singapore.

Klopp has opted for a 4-2-3-1 with Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield and Alexis Mac Allister on the bench.

Liverpool XI: Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Alexander-Arnold, Clark; Salah, Diaz, Szoboszlai; Nunez.

Subs: Jaros, Mrozek, Gomez, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Jota, Tsimikas, Matip, Scanlon, Doak, McConnell, Koumas, Quansah.
