Wijnaldum sees Liverpool benefits in tough pre-season

Liverpool’s Georginio Wijnaldum feels that the club’s tough pre-season travails will benefit them as the start of the new Premier League campaign draws near.

Jurgen Klopp’s men spent a week at an intensive training camp in Evian, France following their participation in the International Champions Cup ahead of their final friendlies before they meet West Ham on August 12 to kick-off the domestic season.

The Reds then drubbed Napoli 5-0 in Dublin and face Torino at home on Tuesday to cap off their preparations, and Wijnaldum feels that the experience has handed them a boost going forward.
