The next fortnight, is when the new Liverpool head coach will have a better idea of what he has inherited in terms of his playing staff.
After a behind-closed-doors friendly against Preston North End on Friday, the Reds step out into the open when they fly to the United States
who travels - or, more pertinently, doesn't make the trip - across the Atlantic will offer a major hint over which players would be better served seeking pastures new
With 11 of Liverpool's 14 representatives at the European Championships and Copa America still yet to return
Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker are next in line and could link up during the US tour - there will be plenty of scope for youngsters and fringe players to be included in the travelling party.
Two players who almost certainly won't be making the journey are centre-back duo Rhys Williams and Billy Koumetio
They are instead preparing for a departure. Williams has interest from League One and Turkey, while Koumetio has attracted attention from a number of clubs
Sepp van den Berg and Nat Phillips are also tipped to exit Liverpool this summer
Any other imminent departure is instead likely to be on loan
Dominic Corness had a good spell in Switzerland last season and was involved in pre-season training initially, but didn't feature in the friendly against Preston.
Tom Hill, Jayden Danns - who had a minor injury - and goalkeepers Marcelo Pitaluga and Fabian Mrzoek also failed to play
Not all are expected to travel to the States, which could open the door for at least one temporary departure.
