The Frenchman did not take part against AC Milan on Saturday but he was with the squad, and with a few days of training under his belt, he could be in line to feature.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot<\/strong><\/a> will be keen for his slew of signings to continue to develop their on-pitch chemistry, and the big-money centre-forward should feature alongside Mohamed Salah<\/strong><\/a> and 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha<\/strong><\/a> up top, with Florian Wirtz<\/strong><\/a> operating behind the trio.<\/p>\n In the centre of the park, Dominik Szboboszlai has stated his desire to play in a deeper role in 2025-26, and he could start with Alexis Mac Allister<\/strong><\/a>, who has returned to training following a minor injury.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, full-backs Jeremie Frimpong<\/strong><\/a> and Milos Kerkez<\/strong><\/a> will get minutes in Yokohama – as they have done in each of Liverpool’s pre-season games so far – though the versatile former Bayer Leverkusen star could line up as a winger rather than a traditional right-back.<\/p>\n The manager has frequently trialled players in different positions during these friendlies, and, just as Ryan Gravenberch<\/strong><\/a> started at centre-back at the weekend, young midfielder Luca Stephenson<\/strong><\/a> may join the back four on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Goalkeeper Giorgio Mamardashvili will be keen to put the mix-up between himself and Kostas Tsimikas<\/strong><\/a> last time out into the distant past, and he should feature once again on Wednesday, though Freddie Woodman<\/strong><\/a> could also make a substitute appearance.<\/p>\n Harvey Elliott<\/strong><\/a> should participate despite speculation about his future, but the Reds will be without winger Luis Diaz<\/strong><\/a> as he has left the club’s camp to seal a \u00a365.5m move to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n Liverpool possible starting lineup:<\/strong><\/p>\n Mamardashvili; Bradley, Stephenson, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Salah, Ekitike, Ngumoha\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n ID:578191:1false2false3false: from db desktop :LenBod:collect4078:No Data Analysis info<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sports Mole looks at how Arne Slot’s Liverpool may line up for the friendly against Yokohama F Marinos…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300150,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,94,4884,179,110954,110953,68303,16,15,18465],"class_list":{"0":"post-300149","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-liverpool","13":"tag-liverpool-yokohama-f-marinos","14":"tag-liverpool-vs-yokohama-f-marinos","15":"tag-sports-mole","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-yokohama-f-marinos"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114934386779335564","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300149\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Milos](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/https:\/\/sportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net\/uploads\/2025\/07\/milos-kerkez-of-liverpool-appl.webp\"\/)
