Liverpool will be squadron members for the visit of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League without two regular first teams, but for two different reasons.
Arne Slot will see his side kick off their Champions League campaign against the men of Diego Simeone on Anfield on Wednesday, and the latter counts his absence.
Julian Alvarez did not travel to Merseyside, nor the center-back Jose Maria Gimenez, midfielder Johnny Cardoso, Vooruit Thiago Almada and winger Alex Baena.
As for Liverpool, this is who they miss before the first competition of the competition phase:
Jones Will not be available for the second game that runs because of the injury he suffered against Arsenal before the international break, but he has to train again on Wednesday.
“He will train with the team tomorrow, so hopefully he can be in the team on Saturday, but not for tomorrow,” said Sloters of his No. 17.
In terms of ChurchHe was omitted from the Champions League team of Liverpool and is therefore not eligible to be mentioned in the MatchDay team, even though he is fit to play.
Jayden Danns trained with the first team on Tuesday and is expected to take a place on the couch instead of playing earlier in the day in the UEFA Youth League.
Stefan Bajcetic Is still working back from a hamstring injury with individual training and therefore stays out of the fight.
Regarding possible team news Hints, Slot did not exclude Alexander Isak to hand over his first start on Wednesday.
“There is definitely a chance because he is in the team,” he said when he asked the chances of Isak.
“Then there is a chance to play. Normally I would say 99.9 percent certain, but I can say that it is 100 percent certain that he will not play 90 minutes, but he is part of the team.”
