Liverpool has named a team of 29 men for the trip to Evian. Alisson, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah all gathered for the visit to France.
The three players have not yet played a minute of action this pre-season after taking some rest as a result of their international commitments to Brazil and Egypt.
Firmino and Alisson won the Copa America against Brazil earlier this month, while Salah led Egypt to 16th in the African Cup of Nations in his country.
Fimrino and Salah – who scored a total of 43 goals last season – will now be in the pack this week, which should be intense for the Reds in France, alongside last year's Golden Glove winner, Alisson.
Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri also join the team after returning to training following their respective injuries, reinforcing Jurgen Klopp's options in the middle and at the top. Ryan Kent, however, misses the disease and will be evaluated by the club later this week.
That means the Reds will receive a huge injection of quality as they try to stop a disappointing race so far this summer.
Ybader Larouci, who was pulled off on a stretcher after a shocking foul in the loss to Sevilla earlier this month, is also in the squad after missing out on games against Sporting and Napoli.
Veteran goalie Andy Lonergan remains on the team, while new coach Harvey Elliott travels again after making his debut in the 3-0 defeat at Napoli on Sunday night in Edinburgh.
Liverpool will meet Lyon's Ligue 1 club in Geneva on Wednesday night before returning to Merseyside later in the week before the Wembley Community Shield on Sunday afternoon.
The strength means that Sadio Mane is no more missing from Liverpool than the rest of the players, while the pre-season plans take on considerable intensity during the training camp.
Mane will return to Melwood on August 5 and may be in the running for Norwich later this week, although the Senegalese star may be named to the substitutes' bench for the Premier League curtain-raiser, his late return to Merseyside.
