Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp expects a good test against preseason opponents RB Salzburg.

Klopp is expecting a tough test against Salzburg who have already begun their season.

He said, "A tough one. The season in Austria started already so they are obviously at a completely different stage to us. We will feel that.

"We have three days later our big starting game of the season. So, of course we will have to make changes.

"I'd love to say we can use all of them. This afternoon is an important session as well; in this moment I don't know who can take part in it.

"We need to have a look and we will play the game. It's pre-season so we have to get through it and then we have to deal with it."

Klopp has also revealed that none of his players will play 90 minutes against Salzburg, with the aim to push them through a full match in Saturday's meeting with Manchester City in the Community Shield instead.

"This pre-season we had to do slightly different and we wanted to do as well," he continued.

"All of them will play the first time 90 minutes on Saturday, all of them. But that's how we did the training.

"So the training sessions were intense to a specific point, that we could get fitter and fitter. The running sessions were extremely hard but we took care of them and now let's see how we can grow in this season.

"For City, it's not really different, they came back from America probably yesterday or something like that. So it will be a tough one."
