Liverpool have bolstered their Champions League squad with two new additions ahead of their showdown with Atletico Madrid at Anfield tonight.
According to UEFA's official website, the Reds' squad list for their opening league phase fixture of the season consists of 24 players.
The trio of Alisson Becker, Freddie Woodman and Giorgi Mamardashvili are listed as the goalkeepers and Woodman is set to make his debut in a matchday squad since his summer free transfer from Preston North End.
Despite this, he remains on the official squad list, with an icon indicating his injury status.
Alexis Mac Allister also has an icon next to his name to indicate that he is a potential fitness doubt.
He has not been included in a senior matchday squad since the start of this season.
But the centre-forward has made two appearances for the under-21s last month after bouncing back from a pre-season back injury.
His inclusion in the squad could potentially affect the game time of Alexander Isak, with Slot admitting that the new signing won't play the full 90 minutes.
However, he did concede that "there is definitely a chance" the Swedish international will face Atletico and make his debut.
