This should have been an evening all about the new arrivals Jurgen Klopp hopes can help propel Liverpool back among Europe’s elite.
Instead the spotlight shone brightest on the player for whom the time has seemingly come to walk away from such a challenge.
The absence of Jordan Henderson from Liverpool’s squad for their opening pre-season friendly here in Karlsruhe wasn’t entirely unexpected, given his ongoing flirtation behind the scenes with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq.
Nevertheless, it was still a shock when it emerged Henderson, who had thus far been involved in the training camp in Donaueschingen, hadn’t made the trip north with news of an initial £12million deal having been struck emerging during the first half.
