TEENAGE Zimbabwean Isaac Mabaya has been included in Liverpool’s 37-man travelling squad for the pre-season tour of Thailand and Singapore.
According to reports, manager Jurgen Klopp invited the 17-year-old Zimbabwean to train with the senior squad.
Mabaya was named in the travelling squad and arrived with the rest of the team in Bangkok yesterday.
The defender will be available for selection for Liverpool’s first pre-season friendly match against Manchester United at Rajamangala Stadium tomorrow.
Klopp’s team will then face Crystal Palace at Singapore National Stadium on Friday as they step up their preparations for the 2022-23 season.
The games will mark the second time the youngster has had a date with the senior squad.
During the 2022/23 season, the right-back was in the Matchday Squad for the FA Cup’s third round encounter against Shrewsbury.
Born in Preston, England, to Zimbabwean parents, Mabaya signed his first professional contract with the Reds, in September 2021.
The defender has represented England at junior level but is still eligible to switch allegiance to Zimbabwe in the future.
