Liverpool have confirmed a 31-player squad for their pre-season tour of the United States as preparations for Andoni Iraola’s first campaign at Anfield continue to gather pace.

The Reds departed from Liverpool John Lennon Airport on Monday afternoon before travelling to their training base in Chicago, where they will spend the next fortnight preparing for the new Premier League season.

Liverpool are scheduled to face Sunderland, Wrexham and Leeds United across three different states before returning to Merseyside at the beginning of August.

Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike, Giorgio Mamardashvili and new number five Jeremy Jacquet have all made the trip as they continue settling into life under Iraola.

The tour will provide supporters with their first extended opportunity to see several of Liverpool’s summer recruits in action, with all expected to feature across the three fixtures.

Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa, Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, Harvey Elliott and Conor Bradley are among the established first-team names also travelling to the United States.

Liverpool’s squad also contains a number of highly-rated academy players looking to impress the new head coach.

Trey Nyoni, James McConnell, Rio Ngumoha, Lewis Koumas and Luca Chambers are all included, while academy prospects such as Wellity Lucky Wright, Hall, Sonni-Lambie, Ndukwe and Davies have also been handed valuable opportunities to work alongside the senior squad.

With Iraola expected to rotate heavily across the three friendlies, several youngsters could be given meaningful minutes as they attempt to stake a claim for involvement during the 2026/27 campaign.

Liverpool have also confirmed that a handful of players currently recovering from injury have travelled to the United States in order to continue their rehabilitation programmes under the supervision of the club’s medical staff.

The Reds believe the tour provides the ideal environment for those players to remain integrated with the squad while continuing their recoveries however, the travelling party does not yet represent Liverpool’s full senior squad.

Several international players remain unavailable following their involvement at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and are expected to join Iraola’s group later in the tour after being granted additional time off.

Liverpool’s three fixtures against Sunderland, Wrexham and Leeds United will provide Iraola with his first real opportunity to implement his ideas against competitive opposition.

Fitness will remain the priority at this stage of pre-season, but supporters will also be keen to see early signs of the Spaniard’s tactical approach as Liverpool build towards the start of the new campaign.

With experienced internationals, exciting new signings and some of the club’s brightest academy prospects all making the trip, the next fortnight could offer the clearest indication yet of how Liverpool are beginning to take shape under their new head coach.
