    No word yet on our preseason games. Other prem clubs have already a full calendar.

    It seems we are taking a rest not pushing for fitness this summer.

    good good.

    Its 2 weeks late but i assume we are factoring in no glamour travel etc in this and the camp will be intense.

    hints are the 4 crocks at the back can at least be in some form of training, no neco williams despite him being a bench warmer all year (2 weeks off imo was enough if he wanted to impress). strong options trhough out.

    Main missing are henderson, alisson, fabinho, thaigo and firmino. players you would hope will come back in august strong and ready.

    Its one of the stronger parties ive seen on preseason in a tournament year.

    Excluding Owen Beck and Conor Bradley because I have no idea who they are, there's only eight CBs in the squad, that's definitely not enough...

    Beck is ian rush's nephew and is a left full.

    Bradley is from northern ireland and is a right full who played most of the youth cup run last year. He's only at the club a short time.

    Both are 18.

    sorry no more CB cover for you.

    Kaide Gordon one to keep an eye on. Signed from derby and meant to be exiting talent.
