Match preview



Liverpool play the first match of their
USA tour in the early hours of Thursday
morning (00.30 UK) when they take on
Italian side AS Roma at Fenway Park.
Brendan Rodgers ’ men visit Boston, home of
club owners Fenway Sports Group, for the
second time in three seasons where they’ll
play Roma in the first of four games on
their USA trip, which also includes matches
against AC Milan, Manchester City and
Olympiakos.
Liverpool faced Roma two years ago as the
Reds embarked on a first pre-season trip to
the United States under FSG, a game in
which the Italians ran out 2-1 winners at
Fenway Park, the same venue in which the
fixture will be played on Thursday
morning.
Charlie Adam scored for Liverpool ten
minutes from time that day for Rodgers’
side, grabbing a consolation goal after
Michael Bradley and Alessandro Florenzi
handed Roma a 2-0 lead.
Team News
Brendan Rodgers has named a large but
highly talented 33-man squad for the pre-
season trip which features all of the
returning World Cup participants except
Mamadou Sakho and Simon Mignolet , who
will join the tour at a slightly later date
instead due to a prolonged World Cup
campaign.
The Reds will depart for the
United States on Sunday
afternoon (July 20). They’ll
later be joined by Sakho and
Mignolet in Chicago. #lfc

All of the current new signings are included
and will feature for Liverpool on the tour
which will see Adam Lallana commence his
Liverpool duties along with fellow
newcomer Lazar Markovic, who was
present at the Reds last outing at Preston
but didn’t feature in the match.
The opening tour fixture is set to come too
early for transfer targets Loic Remy and
Dejan Lovren, even though reports continue
to indicate that deals for both players are
close to being finalised, with French striker
Remy flying out to join up with the
Liverpool party to undergo a medical.
With the fixture being the first of the trip
and senior players back in the fold, the
match is once again likely to see Rodgers
utilise the depth of the squad available and
use a whole host of players throughout the
90 minutes, as he eases the international
players and new signings into the set-up.
However, while the senior players settle
back in to proceedings, the exciting Jordon
Ibe and Kristoffer Peterson will be looking
to carry on their impressive early pre-
season form as they hope to force their way
into the managers’ immediate thoughts for
the season ahead.
All of the squad appear injury free and at
Rodgers’ disposal for the friendly but new
midfield enforcer Emre Can, who has
missed training in Boston, is set to miss the
game after being withdrawn just 20 minutes
into his first Liverpool outing at Deepdale
last Saturday.
Plus, I was of course talking
absolute cobblers when I said
earlier Emre Can wasn’t on the
tour. He just didn’t train this
morning. — James Pearce

It’s unlikely that any of the World Cup
players will be involved in the match,
definitely not from the start, given that they
only started training on Monday.
The Opposition
Manager Rudi Garcia, who joined the club
in June 2013, guided Roma to their best
league season in four years in his debut
season in charge, setting a new record
points total for the club and finishing
runners-up in Serie A, therefore qualifying
automatically for the oncoming Champions
League group stage.
The Giallorossi squad features house-hold
names throughout such as Francesco Totti
and Danielle De Rossi and also boasts a
number of familiar names to Premier
League followers including ex-Arsenal man,
Gervinho, former Man City right back,
Maicon, ex-Fulham full back, Urby
Emanuelson as well as two previously
linked and reported Liverpool targets Kevin
Strootman and recently signed ex-Chelsea
left back, Ashley Cole.
Garcia’s team also consists of some top
European talent alongside the senior squad
figures, including Adam Ljajic, Miralem
Pjanic and exciting new signing Juan
Manuel Iturbe, who joined last week from
Verona for a reported £17.4million and the
Argentine could make his first appearance
in a Roma shirt in the match.
The game, which will be shown live on BT
Sport, also represents the first of four pre-
season tour fixtures for Roma, who also
take on Manchester United, Inter Milan and
Real Madrid.
