Liverpool edged out in pre-season defeat at Salzburg

Liverpool were beaten 1-0 by Red Bull Salzburg in Wednesday night's pre-season clash.

Benjamin Sesko’s assured first-half finish put the Austrian champions ahead and the visitors were unable to find a way through to equalise.

Jürgen Klopp did, however, give more important minutes to 22 players over the course of the game as the Reds prepare to kick off competitive action for 2022-23 in this weekend’s FA Community Shield.

The manager shuffled his starting XI again for the fourth outing of pre-season, with summer signings Fabio Carvalho and Darwin Nunez deployed in attack and James Milner the captain.
