Key dates for Wirtz and co as title celebrations are wrapped up for good

ARNE Slot and his Liverpool squad have a little over a fortnight of holiday time left to soak up before they begin their summer schedule.

Having won the Premier League title with four games to spare before jaunts to areas such as Dubai and Ibiza for brief breaks between fixtures, it may feel that the jubilant Reds have been in party mode for the best part of two months now. And, in truth, such an assessment wouldn't be miles from the truth.

But the hard work starts up again soon enough and ahead of the big return to the AXA Training Centre next month, the ECHO takes a look at the key dates that will shape the Reds' summer.

Liverpool will report for duty on Monday, July 7, and with no international tournament clogging up the calendar for Arne Slot, the Reds boss will have a full complement available to him on day one at the £50m Kirkby base, including Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong.

Later that week, the Reds begin the first of their five-fixture programme with a trip to Deepdale to face Preston North End on Sunday July 13.
