Liverpool’s first open training session under new head coach Andoni Iraola in Chicago was marked by high-intensity drills and a positive atmosphere, as the club prepares to face Leeds in its final US pre-season match. The session also suggested that a recent on-field disagreement involving Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas has been resolved, although it highlighted the need to appoint a new vice-captain following Andy Robertson’s departure.

Record signing Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Ryan Gravenberch returned to training and are expected to feature on Sunday after missing the win over Wrexham in New York. Jeremy Jacquet and Joe Gomez continued gym work while recovering from injuries, with Jacquet doubtful for the Leeds match and Gomez ruled out of the start of the Premier League season. Iraola oversaw possession work, small-sided games and set-piece practice, while Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon watched and was expected to attend Sunday’s match.
