Jurgen Klopp has warned Christian Benteke and Liverpool’s other outcasts: stay and you won’t play.
Klopp wants a leaner squad for the new campaign after using 39 players during Liverpool’s 63 matches last season.
The Reds do not have European football and Klopp has told his fringe players they are highly unlikely to figure.
The Liverpool boss has advised them to leave and in addition to Benteke, wants to move out Lucas, Adam Bogdan, Tiago Ilori, Mario Balotelli and Lazar Markovic.
