Ben Doak - Appears in pre-season friendly Doak (knee) appeared for 45 minutes in Friday's 1-0 friendly win against Preston North End.
Impact Doak had to skip out on Euro 2024 with Scotland due to a knee injury that required surgery he had picked up in Dec. 2023. However, he now appears to be set for the beginning of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign, as he was involved in the first half of Friday's friendly. This is great news for the player, as he will hope to be on the opening day squad, although he is likely to see minor time this season, stuck behind multiple world-class forwards.

Nat Phillips - Returns to Reds Phillips returned to Liverpool after the end of his loan to Cardiff City.
Impact Phillips spent the back half of the 2023/24 campaign on loan with Cardiff City, where he played a large role. The center-back now returns to Liverpool, likely with eyes on a depth role, or a move away from the club. Realistically it's hard for Phillips to break into the first team barring a plethora of injuries ahead of him.

Tyler Morton - Excels on loan Morton returned to Liverpool after the end of his loan with Hull City
Impact Morton was brilliant during his second season with Hull City in the Championship. The midfielder scored three goals with five assists in 39 appearances (35 starts.) He will have an uphill battle to break into the Liverpool first team, but he will likely be given a chance in the pre-season matches.

Virgil Van Dijk - Another productive game defensively Van Dijk registered one tackle (one won), seven clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-1 win against Turkey. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th minute.
Impact Van Dijk had probably his best defensive games of Euro 2024 when it mattered most Saturday, notching one tackle won, an interception and seven clearances. He continues to be their anchor man defensively in the middle and is set to have a crucial performance if the Dutch watch to get through to the final, likely to account for multiple clearances and even possibly a couple of forward-seeking long balls from the back in their semifinal contest.

Cody Gakpo - Solid performance Saturday Gakpo recorded two shots (one on goal) and six crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Turkey.
Impact Gakpo continued his solid production throughout Eruo 2024 with his performance Saturday, registering two shots, two tackles and six crosses in the win. He was also nearly credited with a goal after he got a touch to the ball before it went into the net, although the own goal would end up being given to Mert Muldur of Turkey. He continues to produce for the Dutch and is a likely contender to add to his four Euro 2024 goal contributions if they bag a goal in their Semifinal tilt.

Cody Gakpo - Scores opening goal Gakpo scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and three chances created in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Romania.
Impact Gakpo opened up the scoring with a thunderous strike from a tight angle, finding the back of the net in the 20th minute off of a Xavi Simons assist. This gave Gakpo his third goal of the tournament and fourth goal contribution. He has easily been the team's most crucial player to this point and is set to be the centerpiece of the Dutch attack once again in their quarterfinal matchup.

Sepp Van den Berg - Loan spell ends Van den Berg has ended his loan stay with Mainz and will return to Liverpool ahead of the 2024/25 season.
Impact Van den Berg was able to have a solid season with Mainz after spending last season on loan in Germany. He started 31 of the 33 games played, recording 154 clearances, which was fourth most in the league, while making 36 blocks and keeping eight blocks. The defender will return to Liverpool in hopes for a spot in the starting XI for the 2024/25 PL season.

Cody Gakpo - Goal in loss Gakpo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat versus Austria.
Impact Gakpo scored the Netherlands first goal of the match Tuesday, as he would find the back of the net in the 47th minute off of a Xavi Simons assist. This marks Gakpo's second goal of the tournament, with his first being in their opener against Poland. HE should continue in the starting role heading into the round of 16, as he has been one of the Netherlands' better players this tournament, registering seven shots, eight chances created and 10 crosses in his three starts.

Andy Robertson - Quiet in Sunday's loss Robertson registered two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Hungary.
Impact After putting together an impressive performance in the draw versus Switzerland, Robertson struggled in Sunday's loss to Hungary. He created one chance and recorded two inaccurate crosses on the attack and added one tackle and four clearances on defense. Overall, it was a somewhat disappointing Euro 2024 campaign for Robertson, as he did not record a goal contribution or keep a clean sheet in his three starts.
JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE
Dominik Szoboszlai - Productive in Sunday's win Szoboszlai registered three shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Scotland.
Impact Szoboszlai had another productive outing Sunday, highlighted by his four created chances. He also took three shots for the second consecutive match and took all six of his side's corner kicks. He helped his team keep a clean sheet as well, contributing three clearances in his full 90 minutes of action.
JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE
Cody Gakpo - Creates two chances versus France Gakpo had one shot on goal, created two chances and made two tackles and two clearances during Friday's scoreless draw against France.
Impact Gakpo still had his moments here, but had a quiet performance for his standards, especially if we take into account that he scored and was one of the best players on the pitch during the tournament debut. The attacker will try to bounce back during Tuesday's clash against Austria.
JUNE 22 • ROTOWIRE
Virgil Van Dijk - Excels defensively versus France Van Dijk had one off-target shot, made eight clearances and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Friday's scoreless draw against France.
Impact Van Dijk had another brilliant performance at the heart of the defense, being always one step ahead of opposing forwards and leading all players in clearances and he usually does both for his club and his country. With 14 clearances over two group stage matches, the center-back is tied for fourth among all Euro 2024 players in the category.

Impact The Liverpool midfielder was all over the place for Hungary in this loss to Germany, but in a good way, as he was the team's primary playmaker and was the one pulling the strings in the final third. However, he's yet to score or provide an assist, and Hungary needs more out of him if they want to get a positive result against Scotland in the group-stage finale on Sunday.
