Van Dijk returns for Liverpool, Jones out of squad: Lineup vs AS Monaco

Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker, and Cody Gakpo are set to return for Liverpool in their pre-season match against AS Monaco, marking their first appearances at Anfield since returning from World Cup duty. The trio join the squad after being late to the pre-season campaign. Summer signing Victor Munoz is included on the bench and may make his debut for Liverpool.

Curtis Jones is notably absent from the lineup, with speculation linking him to a potential transfer to Inter Milan. Alexander Isak will lead the attack for AS Monaco, supported by Florian Wirtz. This fixture marks Liverpool's fourth pre-season game, following matches against Sunderland, Wrexham, and Leeds United in the United States, and it serves as the first match in an Anfield double-header ahead of the Premier League season. The visitors will face Como in the second match next weekend.
