Liverpool’s pre-season is done, and the numbers are in. Seven matches, 37 players used, and plenty of travel miles later, Arne Slot now knows who’s match-fit and who still needs sharpening up.
The Reds played in England, Hong Kong, and Japan before wrapping up with a Community Shield penalty loss to Crystal Palace.
Pre-season is about more than just results. It’s about fitness, squad rotation, and giving youngsters their shot at Anfield dreams.
And with 22 goals scored and new signings bedding in, the focus was on minutes – the currency every player wants in July and August.

Man of the minutes
Topping the list? A three-way tie. Dominik Szoboszlai, Mo Salah, and Cody Gakpo all clocked 378 minutes each.
That’s like playing over four full games without a sub – a clear sign Slot will lean on them early in the Premier League.
Close behind was Milos Kerkez on 372 minutes, showing why he’s already becoming a key figure.
