No club will have more players (12) involved in Euro 2016 than Liverpool (Juventus also has a dozen).
England: Sturridge, Milner, Henderson, Clyne, Lallana.
Belgium: Origi, Benteke, Mignolet
Wales: Allen, Ward (yeah, Ward is the the backup keeper for Wales, but he still counts in this exercise)
Germany: Can
Slovakia: Skrtel
In addition, Sakho would have been in the France squad if he hadn't been suspended, and Lovren is only missing from Croatia because of a row with the manager. Coutinho is also in the Brazil squad for Copa America. So there is some quality there that was shown at times last season, but clearly there are a few positions that can be upgraded and more consistency is needed. Loris Karius will push (and perhaps replace) Mignolet, Marko Grujić is in the mix for playing time in the midfield, Joel Matip could be in the lineup immediately depending on Sakho's status, Gomez and Ings are healthy again and will get chances to impress, and every German player that transfers this summer will be at some point rumored to be coming to the Reds. And yes, Mario Balotelli is still on the books.
There will be 3 friendlies in the US this summer, with them making it out to the West Coast this time.
vs. Chelsea - Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA, July 27th.
vs. AC Milan - Levis Stadium, Santa Clara, CA, July 30th
vs. Roma - Busch Stadium, St. Louis, MO, August 1st
They also will take on Barcelona at Wembley on August 6th, and play Tranmere Rovers, Fleetwood Town, Wigan Athletic and Huddersfield Town in July friendlies before the US trip.
No European football is disappointing, but may be a blessing in disguise given Liverpool had to play 63 games last season (20 more than Leicester City). We will see if playing fewer matches helps with injuries or consistency.
The league schedule will come out June 15th, with Liverpool requesting to start on the road in order to maximize time available to finish stadium renovations. Anfield's capacity will rise to approximately 54,000, adding about 8,500 seats and some modern amenities such as larger changing rooms, more concessions, and a bigger club shop.
There's a lot of work to be done, but it's fun having a manager that gives me hope that better days are ahead.
