It stays to be seen if Robertson will get the inexperienced gentle to start out at Portman Street, with Kostas Tsimikas doubtless the frontrunner after proving to be an ever-present all through pre-season.
Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jarell Quansah have been all concerned within the session and are prone to be in Slot’s first league XI.
Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley educated as regular, as did the likes of Stefan Bajcetic, Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones – all of whom will probably be vying for a spot on the bench.

With no new No. 6 signing, Ryan Gravenberch can have been put via his paces as soon as once more forward of an anticipated begin. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai will virtually actually be a part of him.
The ahead 5 are all match heading into the brand new marketing campaign, although it’s Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz – regardless of continued rumours over his future – who Ipswich will count on to face from the primary whistle.
Not everybody will agree on Liverpool’s present ‘finest’ XI however that Slot can decide his for the primary sport may be very a lot welcomed – no new signings and accidents would have been an excessive amount of to deal with.
Furthermore, Sepp van den Berg and Tyler Morton are each on the switch desk this summer season however they have been noticed collaborating in Thursday’s session.
