Hello and welcome to our Liverpool FC live blog for Saturday, September 9.
Liverpool are seven days away from returning to Premier League action, when they go head-to-head with Wolverhampton Wanderers seeking redemption for their humbling defeat last season.
One player they will be without is Virgil van Dijk. The Reds captain saw his one-match ban extended after a ruling by an independent Regulatory Commission following his red card against Newcastle United.
The Holland defender was also fined £100,000 as he broke his silence on the verdict on Friday night.
Diogo Jota was left in the cold by Portugal on Friday. Roberto Martinez opted against bringing the Liverpool attacker on as they edged past Slovakia in Bratislava.
Liverpool may have retained the services of Mohamed Salah following Saudi Arabia interest. However, the Pro League director of football has revealed that the doors 'haven't closed' despite missing out in the summer.
