		</div><p>Summer signing Sepp Van Den Berg is set to make his first appearance in a Liverpool shirt on the club’s tour of the United States as he is still awaiting international clearance.</p>
<p>Paperwork for the 17-year-old, who arrived last month from PEC Zwolle for an initial £1.3million fee, is still being processed by FIFA and until the club receives official confirmation, he is only allowed to train with the squad.</p>
<p>It means he is unlikely to feature in Sunday’s second pre-season friendly at Bradford but will travel to America with the rest of the squad on Tuesday for training and matches against Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and Sporting Lisbon.</p>
<p>Liverpool already have four established centre-backs in Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Dejan Lovren – who is interesting AC Milan but will only be allowed to leave for offers in excess of £25m – so Van Den Berg has been brought in with one eye on the future.</p>
<p>However, manager Jurgen Klopp has not ruled out the Holland Under-19 defender being involved with the first team this season.</p>
<p><em>“It depends. I open the door but the boys have to go through still,”</em> Klopp said.</p>
<p><em>“He is a wonderful player as well, but because of FIFA rules he is not available in the moment, but we have other good players.</em></p>
<p><em>“He thought his future should be here and I thought the same, so now he is here and now let’s work together.</em></p>
<p><em>“He is 17 years old and when you see him you forget that constantly, but he is 17 and so there is a lot to learn.</em></p>
<p><em>“The good thing is he has the most time to do so, so everything will be fine.”</em></p>
<p>Klopp is also expected to add more youth to the ranks with the acquisition of Fulham youngster Harvey Elliott, PA understands.</p>
<p>The 16-year-old, who holds the record for the Premier League’s youngest player, rejected a new deal at Craven Cottage and was in the stands to watch Liverpool’s 6-0 friendly win at Tranmere on Thursday.</p>
<p>He cannot, however, sign a professional contract until he turns 17 next April and a compensation fee is to be decided by a tribunal.</p>
<p>Nations League participants Virgil Van Dijk, Georginio Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold return to pre-season training on Saturday, with Scotland captain Andy Robertson set to join them over the weekend, although none will feature at Bradford.</p>
