Awoniyi joins Mane, Salah, & Keita for Liverpool’s pre-season tour in Austria

The Nigeria international is expected to join Jurgen Klopp’s squad at their training base in Salzburg on Monday

Taiwo Awoniyi has been included in Liverpool’s pre-season training tour in Austria after spending the last six seasons on loan away from Anfield.

The 23-year-old joins a number of African stars on the 34-man roster which include Mohamed Salah (Egypt), Sadio Mane (Senegal), Naby Keita (Guinea), Joel Matip (Cameroon) and Ibrahima Konate (Malian descent).

The selection comes as an opportunity for Awoniyi to seal a place in Jurgen Klopp’s squad because he has not played for the Reds since he joined them from Nigeria's Imperial Academy in 2015.
