Liverpool fans could catch a first glimpse of £30million new signing Sadio Mane in a red shirt next week.

And Jurgen Klopp’s other summer signings are also likely to feature when his side begin their pre-season preparations by making the short trip to neighbours Tranmere Rovers for a friendly.

Almost 2,000 tickets are still available to Reds fans having been handed an allocation of 5,315 in the Kop End at the 16,000-capacity Prenton Park.

Liverpool will be without any of the players on international tournament duty this summer, the club having 12 representatives at Euro 2016 while Philippe Coutinho appeared for Brazil at the Copa America.

Klopp, though, will still have a strong squad at his disposal, with Dejan Lovren, Roberto Firmino, Alberto Moreno, Mamadou Sakho , Lucas Leiva and Danny Ings among those expected to be available.

And Mane is also poised to be involved after penning a five-year contract on Tuesday to complete his move from Southampton.

Fellow new boys Marko Grujic, Joel Matip and Loris Karius will be similarly hopeful of making their bows at Tranmere.

The Liverpool squad return to Melwood to begin pre-season training on Saturday ahead of a nine-game friendly schedule that includes a three-game tour to the United States and a showpiece friendly against Barcelona at Wembley.

Their trip to National League side Tranmere is the first meeting between the clubs since 2008 when Liverpool ran out 1-0 winners in front of a crowd of 15,000.

Tranmere have thus far sold 2,500 tickets in the home section for the all-ticket match.

Prices are £20 for adults, £15 for over-65s and young adults aged between 18 and 22, and £8 for under-18s. Tickets for Liverpool fans can be bought at www.liverpoolfc.com/tickets/tickets-availability .
