Liverpool players NOT on international duty Left out: Gomez, Jones, Chiesa Injured: Alisson, Leoni, Endo Alisson (hamstring) and Giovanni Leoni (ACL) are also sidelined and could yet be joined by Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate after their issues against Chelsea. A “little niggle,” in Arne Slot‘s words, kept him out of the trip to Galatasaray but he returned to the matchday squad at Chelsea, although he was left unused as the head coach favoured Endo.

Giorgi Mamardashvili, Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez are the latest players to wrap up their matches this month, but will all be expected to report back as normal on the Thursday.
