Liverpool have not yet been an active participant in the summer transfer window, but that does not negate the optimism that should be building ahead of the season opener.
The club have welcomed a new head coach, backroom staff, and hierarchy – though no additions to the playing squad have yet been secured.
We are all desperate to see the squad bolstered and it is non-negotiable, but that does not mean we do not have room for optimism while we wait for a new name/s to arrive.
Nineteen players made international appearances over the summer, 14 were involved in tournaments and, thankfully, none reported any injuries.
t ensures they can all start pre-season on time when their return date comes around, an incredibly important factor when you consider the majority will have less than two weeks to prepare for the season opener.
They will still need to be managed accordingly as they have played a ridiculous amount of football, but easing them in is far better than having to work around a rehab schedule!
