Liverpool line up against Lyon confirmed as five star names return to team

Jurgen Klopp has named a strong starting line-up for Liverpool's final game of pre-season this evening.

All five of the players who returned on Monday for the week-long training camp in Evian have been included for the match against Lyon at the Stade de Geneve.

It means first warm-up outings for Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Alisson Becker having been on a break following international duty in their respective summer tournaments, while both Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita return after injury.

Alisson plays behind a defence that sees Yasser Larouci – fit again after being subject to a horror tackle against Sevilla – at left-back, while Ki-Jana Hoever celebrates signing his new long-term contract with a start on the opposite flank.

Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez are the centre-backs.

Keita is joined in midfield by Shaqiri with Adam Lallana given a first pre-season start since the win at Bradford City.

Salah, meanwhile, starts on the right, with Firmino leading the line and Harry Wilson given a chance to impress in a strong forward line.

LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Alisson; Hoever, Gomez, Lovren, Larouci; Keita, Shaqiri, Lallana; Salah, Firmino, Wilson.

SUBS: Mignolet, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Wijnaldum, Milner, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Brewster, Robertson, Origi, Matip, Lewis, Duncan, Alexander-Arnold, Elliott, Van den Berg, Lonergan.
