Liverpool produced an underwhelming performance in a 1-0 defeat to Red Bull Salzburg in their last friendly before Saturday's Community Shield final with Manchester City.
Reported Manchester United target Benjamin Sesko scored the only goal of the game in Austria, in which Jurgen Klopp opted to start with his suspected second-string 11.
Summer signing Darwin Nunez was the big name starter for the Reds, and he could have got a first-half hat-trick to add to his four goals against Red Bull Leipzig.
His closest effort came when he was found by lively youngster Isaac Mabaya, with the Uruguayan striker turning and shooting first-time on the volley only to see his effort crash off the bar.
