Overview
- The friendly is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (12:30 a.m. BST) on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium and will be shown on Liverpool’s All Red Video/LFCTV and on ESPN/ESPN+ in the United States.
- A cancelled flight from Chicago due to severe weather forced Liverpool to change plans and arrive in New York on the day of the match, leaving the squad with reduced pre-game training time.
- Liverpool face a thin central‑defence list after Joe Gomez was injured in the Nashville friendly and Jeremy Jacquet is doubtful, while senior players such as Virgil van Dijk and Alisson began individual programmes in Liverpool.
- Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Ryan Gravenberch have rejoined the touring party but are likely to be eased into minutes as the club uses the match to evaluate the squad under new manager Andoni Iraola.
- Wrexham arrive unbeaten in recent friendlies, having beaten Manchester United and Leeds this summer, a run that has boosted the club’s international profile and promises a stern test for Liverpool’s makeshift back line.
