Alexis Mac Allister has offered a timely injury boost by returning to full training on Monday, while Luis Diaz has said his goodbyes and is aboard a flight to Munich.Liverpool have safely arrived in Japan for the next step of their pre-season tour, which will see them face Yokohama FM on Wednesday.The squad trained for the first time in Tokyo on Monday and they were without Diaz, who has bid farewell to his teammates and is now on his way to formalising a £65.6 million move to Bayern Munich.His absence is soothed by the return of Mac Allister, who has been completing his own individual programme throughout pre-season so far due to a long-term injury.The Argentine missed the last two games of the 2024/25 season and his country’s subsequent summer matches due to his fitness concerns, but has now been welcomed back into the fold.Goalkeepers: Alisson, Mamardashvili, Pecsi, Woodman, MisciurDefenders: Van Dijk, Konate, Bradley, Frimpong, Robertson, Kerkez, StephensonMidfielders: Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Jones, Endo, Elliott, Nyoni, MortonForwards: Salah, Wirtz, Ekitike, Nunez, Gakpo, Ngumoha, DoakHis return bolsters Liverpool’s midfield options during a period in which Arne Slot has been calling upon Ryan Gravenberch and Kostas Tsimikas to fill in at centre-back after Joe Gomez‘s injury.The defender returned to Merseyside last week with a minor Achilles injury, leaving Liverpool short at the back – though reports maintain that the club are still “actively” pursuing reinforcements. Wataru Endo was also present in Monday’s session after illness ruled him out against AC Milan.Hugo Ekitike, meanwhile, will be expected to feature in Wednesday’s friendly after he missed out in Hong Kong having only just signed for the club in the days leading up to the match.Liverpool are now without two of the players who made the trip to Asia, with Gomez returning to the AXA Training Centre and Diaz starting a new chapter of his career in Munich.
