Liverpool’s new £ 85 million record Darwin Nunez has joined the team for his first training session, when the Reds started the pre-season in Thailand.
The team left for Bangkok with new signings Núñez and Fabio Carvalho who are part of the touring group in preparation for the new Premier League season.
Coach Jurgen Klopp named a 37-man team for the pre-match tour against Manchester United and Crystal Palace next week.

The former Benfica striker was part of the Reds’ 37-man squad to travel to Bangkok, Thailand
Several players were granted an extended break due to the international break last month before connecting with the rest of the squad, including former Benfica Núñez forward, who was out with Uruguay.
At a press conference after landing in Thailand, Klopp said: “A good season, a season where we can improve.
‘We have room for improvement. It’s not about how many games you can win, but about: how can we play? You can always do better and that is what we will try ”.

The former Borussia Dortmund coach is fully confident in his squad, despite some changes with the departure of Sadio Mane and Divock Origi, but it is clear that Núñez and Carvalho have joined.
‘As safe as possible. You never know, obviously, but today I saw on the plane a staff full of quality.
‘You always need a little luck, as we all know, if you want to win a trophy. But to have a good season you need first of all proof, that’s what it’s all about and that’s what we’ll try.
Klopp also insists he has no doubts about the quality of the boys, including the new boy Núñez
“I have no doubt about the quality of the boys. We added new players – yes, we lost a few players – but we added new players; if you want, fresh blood, very useful.
‘There are no places already sorted, who will play where. The boys will put pressure, which is important.
“From now on we will also have five substitutes in the Premier League; we have to get used to it, we have to adapt to it. I’m really looking forward to it.
“In football there are no guarantees, but there are many chances that we will have another good season, I would say.”
