Joel Matip will make his comeback from injury in Liverpool's final pre-season friendly against Mainz at the Opel Arena.

The Cameroon international centre-back hasn't featured since limping off with an ankle problem against Wigan three weeks ago.

Matip, who will line up alongside Andre Wisdom, must prove his fitness to manager Jurgen Klopp ahead of next Sunday's Premier League opener against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Klopp has made nine changes following Saturday's impressive 4-0 rout of Barcelona.

Emre Can and Adam Lallana are the only players to start both matches with the duo having only played the first half at Wembley.

Exciting Academy youngster Ben Woodburn, who starred in the UK friendlies prior to the tour of America, is restored to the first team line up.

There's also a start for fellow teenager Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back.

Divock Origi has been picked to lead the line with Alex Manninger getting a chance in goal.

Captain Jordan Henderson forms part of a three-man midfield with Marko Grujic and Can.

James Milner is the only player involved against Barcelona who didn't travel to Germany. He's undergoing a scan amid fears he will miss the start of the new Premier League season with a heel injury.

Liverpool team: Manninger, Alexander-Arnold, Wisdom, Matip, Moreno, Can, Henderson, Grujic, Lallana, Woodburn, Origi

Substitutes: Mignolet, Clyne, Wijnaldum, Lovren, Coutinho, Firmino, Klavan, Mane, Toni Gomes, Brannagan, Ings, Stewart, Hart, Maguire, Markovic, Randall, Kelleher.
