Darwin Nunez and Virgil van Dijk were seen after the end of the Liverpool training session in Tokyo today.
Together with their teammates, the duo is preparing for the next pre-season-friendly for the season against Yokohama F. Marinos on Wednesday, the last game of their tour to Asia before he returns to the UK later this week.
It may not be a competitive luminaire, but the side of Arne Slot will want to return to winning ways after their defeat against AC Milan in Hong Kong last weekend, and a few of their players seem to be particularly determined to end the result of Saturday.
What did Nunez and Van Dijk do after training?
Lewis Steele is one of the Liverpool Press Pack in Japan for the Asian tour, and he shared an intriguing observation of the training basis of the Reds after the team session was completed on Tuesday.
He Posted on X: ‘Training ended here in Tokyo, but Darwin Nunez among those who are still working on their shooting. Virgil van Dijk practice free kicks. ‘
NUNEZ has so far looked sharp in the preseason
From the Images shared by Steele And others on social media seemed to explain Set-piece routines a significant part of today’s training session, and the sight of our captain who may stand in line to take a free kick against Yokohama would be quite interesting.
However, it is NUNEZ’s extra shooting work that will mainly resonate with a lot of Liverpool fans, given the volume of criticism that he has received at the Reds for three years about that part of his game.
The Uruguayan made a number of crucial contributions to last season’s Triumph Triumph, but underwent a disappointing campaign on an individual level, scored only seven times in 47 games and only made one top flight start in 2025 (Transfer market).
That has a large scale connected to him all summer with an exit from Anfield, although he can take encouragement by scoring in our first two friendly matches this month, including a hat trick in the 5-0 win over Stoke.
He was not involved in the defeat against Milan because of a small fitness problem, but his involvement in training today suggests that he will perform against Yokohama. If so, hopefully he can continue where he had left before Liverpool flew to the Far East a few days ago!
