Liverpool’s pre-season plans are taking shape after the club confirmed five more friendly fixtures for this summer.
The Reds had already planned a tour of the United States that will see them take on Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and Sporting Lisbon between July 20 and 25.
But further games in England and across Europe have now been confirmed to take place either side of that trip State-side.
The 2019-20 campaign looks set to get under way with a customary friendly against Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park on July 11.

Then, Jurgen Klopp’s team will face Bradford City at Valley Parade on July 14 in a charity match supporting both clubs’ former player Stephen Darby.
Darby began his career at Anfield before going on to captain the Bantams, but was recently forced to retire from the game after being diagnosed with motor neuron disease.
Liverpool will then head out to the United States, returning in time for a July 28 meeting with Napoli at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.
And that fixture will be quickly followed by a clash with Lyon at Stade de Geneve on July 31, which will sit in the middle of a planned training camp in nearby Evian, France.
Next up for the Reds is a Community Shield date with Manchester City - the date for which has yet to be confirmed - before their friendly plans are rounded off by an Anfield game against Schalke on August 6.
