Jurgen Klopp is anxious to welcome back his star players after a "strange" preseason.

The Reds were thrashed 3-0 by Napoli in Scotland on Sunday to take their record for preseason to three losses and one draw.

Lorenzo Insigne, Arkadiusz Milik and Amin Younes scored the Serie A side at Murrayfield.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Alisson are all missing because of extended holidays, and the German coach admits he'll be glad to see them return to training.

"Finally, this period is over," the 52-year-old told LFCTV after the game.

"I never had a preseason like this, without six players missing a complete pre-season. It's just strange.

"Tomorrow a couple of them come back, it would be better if they had come earlier, but that's how it is.

"The best news is [Manchester] City have no idea who they face next week because we will surprise ourselves probably!"
