Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has confirmed that Ryan Gravenberch, Alexander Isak, Jeremy Jacquet, and Florian Wirtz will make their preseason debuts in the upcoming match against Leeds United in Chicago. The four players were not included in Liverpool's squad for the previous match against Wrexham in New York. Gravenberch, Isak, and Wirtz only began training last Sunday after participating in the World Cup, while Jacquet also missed the win over Sunderland in Nashville as a precaution. Iraola stated that the decision to hold them back was to give more minutes to young players in the Wrexham game, but all four are scheduled to feature as Liverpool concludes their US tour against Leeds United this Sunday.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has confirmed that Ryan Gravenberch, Alexander Isak, Jeremy Jaque, and Florian Wirtz are expected to make their preseason debuts later this week.
None of the four players were included in Liverpool's squad for Wednesday's match against Wrexham in New York.
Gravenberch, Isak, and Wirtz only began training last Sunday after participating in the World Cup, while Jaque also missed the victory over Sunderland in Nashville as a precaution.
However, all players are scheduled to feature as the Reds conclude their US tour with a match against Leeds United in Chicago this Sunday.
Speaking to Liverpool's official website before the match against Wrexham, manager Iraola said:
"Obviously, we miss Joe Gomez, who got injured a few days ago. We decided to hold back the players who have just started training—Alex, Flo, Ryan, and even Jeremy—for the next game.

"I think they will all play against Leeds United. Today we will focus more on training the young players."
