Jonathan Gorrie3 August 2023

Virgil van Dijk this afternoon wears the captain’s armband for the first time on a permanent basis as Liverpool face Bayern Munich in a pre-season friendly.

The Dutchman was officially confirmed as Jordan Henderson’s replacement earlier this week, with Trent Alexander-Arnold his vice-captain.

Elsewhere, Curtis Jones returned to the team after helping win the U21 European Championships earlier this summer for the victory over Leicester.

The midfielder continues against Bayern, with new signing Dominik Szoboszlai also in the side following his recent ankle strain.

Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic and Conor Bradley are all out but Jurgen Klopp has largely a full squad from which to choose.

Alisson Becker starts in goal as Liverpool look to extend their unbeaten record in pre-season, while Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo get the nod in the front three alongside Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jota, Salah, Gakpo

Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Mrozek, Gomez, Konate, Diaz, Nunez, Elliott, Tsimikas, Clark, Scanlon, Doak, McConnell, Koumas, Quansah, Frauendorf

Time and date: 12.30pm BST on Wednesday, August 2, 2023
