Liverpool fans might get the chance to see Florian Wirtz in match action for the first time today, after he missed the opening friendly of the summer against Preston North End.
Wirtz featured in the behind-closed-doors win over Stoke City last weekend but could play in front of the cameras against AC Milan later today at the Kai Tak Sports Park. Fellow new signings Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Giorgi Mamaradashvili have already been spotted in pre-season, while it remains to be seen whether or not Hugo Ekitike will play.
For those hoping to tune into the game, it will be shown live on Liverpool's in-house channels. Supporters will need the All Red Video package to be able to stream it.
Via Liverpool's official website, fans are able to sign up for the All Red Video package. And members who are new to the service can get a month free, with the option to cancel at any time.
In addition to getting access to the pre-season games, the All Red Video package also includes LFC documentaries, full match replays once the season starts, a live stream of LFCTV, highlights of the men's and women's teams, and audio commentary of every game.
New signing Kerkez is looking forward to playing in the game. Previously, he played for AC Milan before moving to AZ Alkmaar and then Bournemouth, and he is excited about the reunion.
"Obviously I played there and trained a lot with the first team, know a lot of the guys," he told the Reds' official website.
"It will be fun and will be good also for me to get more minutes and get adapted more to my teammates. I’m looking forward to it — it’s my old team and I have good memories there.
"[Training so far] has been really good. Intense — that’s how we like to train. We are adapting to the heat still but it’s good, all the guys train hard and we are getting really ready physically.
"I think it will help definitely, when we get back to England then the lungs will open. Because we train in big heat and we know how the weather is there. So, I think it will help us a lot and we will get back really ready."

Kerkez was also asked about how he has been settling into life at Liverpool. With a trip to Asia at the start of his career at Anfield, the left-back will have seen straight away how big the global support is for the Reds.
"Of course I know it is one of the biggest clubs in the world and when I came it just surprised me also how professional everything is and how high a level everything is," he said.
"And that you really have to work hard every single day to compete. It’s the highest level. That surprised me but it’s also what I was looking for, so I’m really happy."
