Liverpool will have a healthy representation at the 2026 World Cup despite a disappointing season that saw them finish fifth in the Premier League and sack manager Arne Slot. The Reds, who spent heavily last summer, will see several key players compete in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
The confirmed Liverpool players heading to the World Cup include midfielders Ryan Gravenberch (Netherlands), Wataru Endo (Japan), Alexis Mac Allister (Argentina), and Florian Wirtz (Germany). However, two high-profile summer signings—striker Hugo Ekitike and wing-back Jeremie Frimpong—who arrived for a combined £108.5 million, have not been called up by their respective nations.
Liverpool's campaign was inconsistent despite their record transfer outlay, leading to Slot's dismissal. The club now faces the task of appointing a new manager and planning for the next transfer window while their players compete on the world stage.
