The Sweden international will have something to prove in the new season.
Alexander Isak’s Liverpool can wrap up a flawless pre-season tour of the United States when they face Leeds United in Chicago tonight and begin their Premier League preparation.
The Reds travel to Soldier Field after a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Wrexham. Meanwhile, Daniel Farke’s Leeds United side defeated Sunderland by the same scoreline.
Liverpool’s first summer test against Sunderland was a six-goal thriller that finished 4-2 in favour of the Reds, making their New York struggle with Wrexham look extremely easy in comparison.
The club will welcome back many players who were given an extra break after the World Cup, as they participated in the summer competition. One of the key stars has also returned. New manager Andoni Iraola confirmed that Alexander Isak will play against Leeds.
