💨 Abstract

Liverpool concluded their pre-season with victories against Athletic Club, featuring goals from young players and key forwards. Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker missed the friendlies, but Coach Arne Slot expects them to be available for the Community Shield against Crystal Palace. Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley, however, were also absent due to minor injuries. Slot expressed mixed feelings about the defense, highlighting the need for improvement on set-pieces ahead of their next match.
