Euros and Copa end on July 14. The Liverpool Betis match is on July 26. If Columbia, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay all reach the semifinal…then Becker, Diaz, Nunez and MacAllister won’t be playing as they’ll need a few weeks holiday before joining up with Liverpool for the preseason. It will be easy for them to join up with Liverpool eventually because they will already be here due to Copa. But July 26 is a bit too soon. If England makes a run to the Euro final as expected, and Trent is playing for them, the same goes for him. But he will never join up with Liverpool for the US tour. Even if he comes off holiday he will probably report to Liverpools training facility in England and train on his own and with the academy players.
Chelsea’s friendly in Charlotte vs Madrid is around Aug 6. That gives 3 weeks of holiday for any players who reach the finals of Copa or Euros. And even longer for players eliminated sooner. It will essentially be full squads.
These matches are normally packed with first teamers. I remember when Chelsea was on the US tour two summers ago, they had a starting 11 for their game in Vegas vs Club America and then at halftime brought in essentially an entire new 11. And it was all first teamers. The next game was vs FC Charlotte and you’d figure that they’d play young guys vs the MLS team. They didn’t. They did the same thing. Then when they played Arsenal a couple nights later in Orlando, both Chelsea and Arsenal played all their 1st teamers.
Best bet is to buy tickets for August matches. Bottom line is I wouldn’t expect any players to cross the pond from countries who made deep runs at Euro 2024. But some Copa players may play…it just depends on timing. But the bottom line is we aren’t talking about the entire squad…we are just talking about small handful of players per team at most.
