Next Up: Hertha Berlin

Liverpool leave their Swiss training camp in Interlaken and head for Germany to face Hertha Berlin in the Olympic Stadium.

They will be without club captain Steven Gerrard who is back on Merseyside receiving treatment for a groin injury he picked up in Switzerland.

The Spanish quartet of Torres, Reina, Alonso and Arbeloa will also be absent - they return to training at the end of the week.

Hertha will be a tougher test than the previous pre-season friendlies with Tranmere, Lucerne and Krakow.
