Where Are The Reds? A Curious Case!…

Liverbirds have embarked on a thrilling trek across Asia, yet like a magic show gone wrong, 11 brave souls are left behind! While Federico Chiesa’s absence is whispered to be due to an itty-bitty fitness hiccup, it’s got the rumor mill spinning like a shot from the halfway line. Youngster Jayden Danns, who was loaned to Sunderland but never graced their pitch – possibly due to an unfortunate tango with a banana peel (read: back injury) – is also missing in action.

Instead of boarding the fancy flying machine to Hong Kong, kiddos Kieran Morrison, Tommy Pilling, Lewis Koumas, and Amara Nallo are back home, possibly lamenting lost opportunities while sipping on their protein shakes. Their fellow younglings, James McConnell and Stefan Bajcetic, are resting snugly in the plush medical suite nursing minor owies, while Owen Beck’s headed to Derby County on a loan voyage, locked in an epic tug-of-war with Wrexham.

The master of the Argentine tango, Alexis Mac Allister, is hopping along with the team, aiming to dodge any slinky steps and show off his silky skills against AC Milan or Yokohama F. Marinos. Meanwhile, Darwin “Hat-trick Hero” Nunez and his amigo Luis Diaz are keeping fans on tenterhooks, potentially plotting a grand escape this summer while still lighting up the pitch like it’s the final showdown at the AXA Training Center. Pre-season shenanigans, anyone?
