Liverpool forced to change pre-season plans as Reds hit with travel chaos
Liverpool's pre-season tour of the United States has been disrupted by travel chaos after their flight from Chicago to New York was cancelled due to thunderstorms and heavy rain. The Reds were scheduled to arrive in New York on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's friendly against Wrexham at Yankee Stadium, but will now land just hours before kick-off. The cancellation also affected the planned reveal of Liverpool's new away kit, with club legends Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler stepping in to model the Adidas kit at a Brooklyn event. Manager Andoni Iraola, who ended his playing career at New York City FC, will have a larger squad to choose from as Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak have returned to training, though they may not feature in the match. Meanwhile, Alisson Becker, Cody Gakpo, and Virgil van Dijk will begin individual training programs at Liverpool's AXA Training Centre.
