Shaqiri and Wijnaldum in Liverpool training but key man absent ahead of Man Utd friendly
XHERDAN SHAQIRI has been spotted training hard as Liverpool gear up for their pre-season clash with Manchester United.
Xherdan Shaqiri was spotted enjoying Liverpool training session as the Reds continued their pre-season preparation in New Jersey.
The Swiss international has linked up with his new team-mates for the first time since his move from Stoke, having recently returned from his post-World Cup holiday.
Liverpool secured Shaqiri for just £13m from Stoke after activating the 26-year-old’s release clause following the Potters’ relegation.
The winger was joined in yesterday's session by Georginio Wijnaldum, who is yet to feature in pre-season after a muscle injury followed by a virus.
While Wijnaldum has now been passed fit, summer signing Naby Keita was absent having picked up a neck problem – although Jurgen Klopp has not yet ruled him out of facing Manchester United.
Liverpool secured a 2-1 victory over Manchester City in their most recent International Champions Cup match and now face Jose Mourinho’s men in Michigan tomorrow.
