Liverpool have made changes to their Champions League squad ahead of their opening league phase fixture against Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday night. UEFA's official website lists a 24-man squad, which includes two new additions from the club's B List: Trey Nyoni and Jayden Danns.
Goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, who joined on a free transfer from Preston North End in the summer, is also included and could make his debut in a matchday squad. This is possible due to UEFA's rule allowing clubs to name 12 substitutes, three more than in the Premier League. However, one player from the 24 will be omitted from the matchday squad.
Curtis Jones is likely to miss out after head coach Arne Slot confirmed the midfielder is not fit to play, despite being scheduled to train with the team on Wednesday. Jones remains on the official squad list with an injury icon. Alexis Mac Allister also has a fitness doubt icon next to his name.
Jayden Danns, a centre-forward, has not been in a senior matchday squad since the start of the season but has made two appearances for the under-21s after recovering from a pre-season back injury. His inclusion could affect the game time of new signing Alexander Isak, with Slot admitting the Swedish international will not play the full 90 minutes but has a chance to make his debut.
The full squad includes goalkeepers Alisson Becker, Freddie Woodman, and Giorgi Mamardashvili; defenders Andy Robertson, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Ibrahima Konate, Jeremie Frimpong, Joe Gomez, Milos Kerkez, Virgil van Dijk, and Wataru Endo; midfielders Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz, Ryan Gravenberch, and Trey Nyoni; and forwards Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, Hugo Ekitike, Jayden Danns, Mohamed Salah, and Rio Ngumoha.
