That sucks, it's madness that fans can be priced out of preseason games.

That’s such a shame. Overseas preseason matches are for expanding the Brand so pricing fans out defies logic.

Great to see Holland and Germany out so early. Means Gakpo, VvD, Gravenberch and Wirtz can take their holiday sooner and get back into training. France to do their bit tonight and Isak will be back too.

I think Isak would benefit from games here but agreed in principle. The earlier the group make it back to preseason, under a new boss, the better.

[BigChief]

Isak is coming home, boys.

Yeah France are in a league of their own.

The pre-season tour probably starts around July 20th. so we'll probably have everybody there except Alisson, Mac Allister and maybe Munoz.

That means a squad of at least:

Mama, Jaros, Woodman

Frimpong, Kerekz, Tsimikas, Jaquet, Leoni, VVD, Gomez, Beck, Ramsay

Jones, Bajcetic, Nyoni, Grav, Dom, Wirtz, McConnell, Elliott

Gakpo, Chiesa, Rio, Abe, Isak, Wright

We're rather short of bodies really, a RW, midfielder, right back, left back and a senior centre back would be ideal!

Injured: Bradley, Ekitike, Endo.

Leoni is in the gym but I’ve not read anything about him being on the training pitch yet

He is predicted to be back to full fitness for the preseason training. He had been back doing gym work since early June.

MosRay he might be further along than I thought

Giovanni Leoni has been working tirelessly behind the scenes and the hard work is paying off. He is officially back out on the grass at the AXA Training Centre doing individual drills, and word is he’s tracking ahead of schedule! While a 12-month recovery timeline is the norm for this kind of injury, he is fully tipped to be back and firing in time for pre-season ahead of the 2026/27 campaign! ????⚽ The kid has a massive future ahead of him, and we cannot wait to see him integrated back into the squad. The comeback is always stronger than the setback! ????????

Add Ali to the list of players heading back soon.

Have you tried contacting one of the many official supporters clubs, LFC provide ticket to them for $75 plus fees = $88. The club supplies Official Supporters clubs directly.

The blocks of tickets will depend on the size of the OLSC though. It might be worth contacting The Chicago OSC. They did have tickets for $75 +fees...

I reckon crowds could potentially be down in the US after the WC.

Hopefully Munoz can come home tonight. Wasting his holiday time on that Spanish bench.
