Philippe Coutinho scored on his return to action as Liverpool beat HJK Helsinki 2-0 in a friendly on Saturday.
The 23-year-old made his first appearance of the pre-season, following his summer exploits at the Copa América with Brazil, and scored the second goal after substitute Divock Origi had opened the scoring with 18 minutes remaining.
On the bench in Finland was Liverpool’s latest signing, the young Brazilian midfielder Allan Rodrigues de Souza.
The 18-year-old has joined from Porto Alegre-based Internacional for a fee believed to be around £500,000.
While Allan is seen as one for the future, Liverpool’s major summer signings Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino look set to make their first appearances on Sunday.
The attacking duo are set to play some part of the final pre-season friendly at League One side Swindon Town. Benteke, a £32.5m signing from Aston Villa, and Firmino, brought in from Hoffenheim for £29m, have yet to feature but should play some part in the sell-out fixture at the County Ground. Adam Bogdan, Kolo Touré, Mamadou Sakho, Alberto Moreno, Lucas Leiva, Emre Can, Joe Allen and Lazar Markovic are all also likely to play.
