While Gravenberch, Isak and Wirtz will be included in the squad, Iraola confirmed a decision is still to be made on whether Jeremy Jacquet will be involved.<\/p>\n

The summer arrival did not participate in the friendlies with Sunderland and Wrexham after reporting some \u2018discomfort\u2019 in training.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Jeremy we still don\u2019t know if it\u2019s worth it or not to put him in against Leeds,\u201d explained the head coach. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe did the first part of the pre-season, let\u2019s say, very well. Now he\u2019s feeling some discomfort, so we don\u2019t want to rush him. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe comes from a lot of months without playing. And obviously I would like to try with him with Virgil [van Dijk] when he recovers, because with the injury of Joe [Gomez] we\u2019ve been without senior centre-backs. But we have to be careful with Jeremy, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, there is positive news regarding the fitness of Stefan Bajcetic and Wataru Endo, both of whom have stepped up their training programmes during the USA tour as they close in on returns to action.<\/p>\n

Iraola said: \u201cStefan is training basically fully with the team. Wataru has started training more progressively but [is] very close to being ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope Wata can play probably against Monaco. He should be able to have some minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While Gravenberch, Isak and Wirtz will be included in the squad, Iraola confirmed a decision is still to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":798648,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1720,1721,1708,1716,1710,1722,1724,1723,1711,1715,1714,1709,1719,1712,1717,403,99,1713,1718],"class_list":["post-798647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-alisson","tag-firmino","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-the-reds","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=798647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/798648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=798647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=798647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=798647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
