As Liverpool prepares for their Europa League clash, a 25-man squad trained at the AXA Training Centre, working towards an automatic spot in the last 16.
The team will face Austrian side LASK, seeking to secure their place in the next stage of the competition.
This session follows two significant injuries to Jurgen Klopp’s squad, with Alisson sidelined for at least two weeks and Diogo Jota facing an indefinite absence. Andy Robertson, Thiago, and Stefan Bajcetic are also on the absentee list.
Thankfully, the rest of the squad is fit, with all members participating in Wednesday’s training session at the AXA Training Centre.
Kaide Gordon and Conor Bradley joined the 25-man group, working towards full fitness and eligible to feature in the Europa League if needed.
The squad is composed entirely of full-time senior outfielders, including Dominik Szoboszlai, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Darwin Nunez. Klopp is likely to make several changes for the upcoming game.
Wataru Endo is expected to start in midfield, likely joined by Ryan Gravenberch and Harvey Elliott. The attack lineup presents a big decision, especially with Jota’s absence necessitating rest for other players. Ben Doak, Cody Gakpo, and Luis Diaz are all likely to play significant roles.
