The Reds’ Trent Alexander-Arnold is aiming to get in what he calls the “best shape of his career” in anticipation of another dominant season.

On Saturday, Liverpool will welcome back 10 players from the first team for the first day of preseason training. More players will be joining them shortly afterward because their seasons were prolonged owing to international obligations.

With a goal and seven assists in his final ten games of the season, Alexander-Arnold had a breakout performance after being used as a hybrid between right back and midfield.

The England international has been preparing for another season at Liverpool, hoping to keep up the winning streak that began in April and continued with seven straight victories in May.

The 24-year-old reportedly underwent a rigorous training regimen in the United Kingdom to maximize his physical condition after taking just one week off after his England responsibilities, according to Paul Joyce of The Times.

Rumor has it that Alexander-Arnold has been “hiking up mountains and cycling at altitude” at Under Armour’s innovation headquarters in Portland, Oregon, in 2023 and 2024, in an effort to perform to his fullest potential.

The Reds are hoping to recover from a dismal season in which they were not strong contenders for any of the major honours, so this season is shaping up to be another pivotal one for the defense.

With the addition of new midfielders Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to Liverpool’s revamped roster, the Scouser will be hoping to make a big splash.

Whenever the team has the ball, Alexander-Arnold will keep his right back position while lining up in a midfield four with the new members.

The youngster, who will be making his Europa League debut, was a bright spot in the Reds’ late push for an improbable Champions League spot, but they ultimately fell short.

Alexander-Arnold might play a pivotal role for Liverpool once again as the club prepares for a season in which they aim to contend on all fronts, similar to 2021/22.
