Head coach Andoni Iraola later clarified why the 21 year old centre-back was not even on the bench at Geodis Park: "With Jérémy we decided to take it easy with him. He's had a lot of months without playing and he's been training very well, but we're going to take it easy with him.

He will play probably in the last game of this tour and he will have time to have minutes."Iraola confirmed last weekend that, despite being in full training, Jacquet will also not feature in Wednesday night's pre-season friendly at Yankee Stadium. Who will start at centre-back for Liverpool vs Wrexham?

In van Dijk's case, Iraola cited the fact that van Dijk had played more minutes than any other player in Europe last season as the reason for this relaxed approach. So, for the clash with Wrexham, as was the case against Sunderland following Gomez's withdrawal, it'll be two teenagers at centre-back, namely Mor Talla Ndiaye and new signing Ifeanyi Ndukwe.
