Liverpool FC had a fresh face at the AXA training with the first team ahead of the first leg vs Galatasaray on Monday morning.

Arne Slot’s side completed their final training session at the AXA Training Centre earlier in the day before flying out to Istanbul, but the squad announced later did not include Alisson Becker or Federico Chiesa. Alisson’s omission was the biggest surprise, with the Brazilian having taken part in Monday’s session before reporting an issue towards the end of training.

Despite training with the first team, Onanuga is not in 21-man sqaud that is travelling to Istanbul today. Attacking midfielder Afolami Onanuga (19) trained with the Liverpool first-team squad ahead of the UCL tie with Galatasaray. — Lewis Bower (@LewisBower2021) March 9, 2026 Want to get the latest Liverpool news direct to your phone?
