Surprise name included in Liverpool's official 28-man squad for US tour

Liverpool will face Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and Sporting CP during their tour of America
Liverpool have named their 28-man squad travelling to the United Stated as part of their pre-season preparations.

Jurgen Klopp and his players will depart for America on Tuesday morning.
They are set to arrive in Indiana for a friendly with Borussia Dortmund at the Notre Dame Stadium on Friday, July 19, before moving to Boston to play Sevilla at Fenway Park on July 21 and Sporting CP at the Yankee Stadium on July 24.
There is one surprise name included in the squad in Jakub Ojrzynski - a Polish goalkeeper who recently signed for Liverpool U18s.
His inclusion comes amidst the Reds having a lack of shot-stoppers available with Alisson Becker yet to return from his summer break after helping Brazil win the Copa America, Caoimhin Kelleher recovering from surgery on a broken wrist, Vitezslav Jaros suffering with an elbow ligament strain and Kamil Grabara - who Huddersfield Town want to take on loan - yet to report back for training after appearing for Poland in the UEFA European Under-21 Championships this summer.
Goalkeeper Andy Lonergan will also travel as part of the group but will only be taking part in training,
Meanwhile, both Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita have not recovered from injury in time to travel to the US and so are not included in the squad.
The likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are also not included having not yet returned to training after summer tournaments - with Mane set to play in the African Cup of Nations final against Algeria on Friday, July 19.

Real Madrid supporters were left fuming by their side's performance as they were torn apart by rivals Atletico in their International Champions Cup match in New York on Friday. Madrid fielded arguably their strongest team for the game, with new signings Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic involved along with the likes of Luka Modric, Isco and Sergio Ramos.
