Jayden Danns will not be involved in either of Liverpool’s clashes with Galatasaray in the Champions League or UEFA Youth League due to a hamstring injury. Danns was an unused substitute in the opening Champions League win over Atletico Madrid before coming off the bench against Southampton in the Carabao Cup.

But the 19-year-old – who missed much of pre-season as he recovered from a long-term back injury – is now sidelined with a hamstring complaint. He is currently being assessed but the immediate verdict is that Danns cannot be involved in this week’s European clashes with Galatasaray.

Galatasaray Goalkeepers: Alisson, Mamardashvili, Woodman Defenders: Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez, Bradley, Kerkez, Robertson, Frimpong Midfielders: Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Mac Allister, Jones, Endo Forwards: Salah, Isak, Ekitike, Gakpo, Ngumoha It was clear when Liverpool announced their 21-man travelling squad on Monday afternoon that he would not take part in the Champions League tie, but he is also set to miss the U19s’ meeting in the UEFA Youth League. He was named captain for the trip to Ipswich at the weekend but could now be facing another extended spell on the sidelines.
