The Cameroon defender missed the end of last season through injury but could be set to start the season alongside Virgil van Dijk
Joel Matip is ready to fight for his Liverpool place this season – and believes the Reds are assembling a squad capable of challenging for major honours.
The Cameroon international has returned to action this summer having missed the final weeks of the last campaign with a thigh injury.
In that time, Matip had to watch as Liverpool reached the Champions League final without him, and saw Dejan Lovren and Virgil van Dijk establish themselves as the Reds’ first-choice centre-back pairing.
