The Anfield homecoming everyone’s been expecting this summer may not be so straightforward after all. Die Roten were knocked out of the DFB-Pokal by third-tier Saarbrucken in November, while they trail Lazio 1-0 following the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 clash.

Alonso spent five seasons with Liverpool and celebrated some of the best days of his playing career in England.
