The UEFA Champions League group stage will be taking a new format this season and Liverpool are set to take part having finished third in the Premier League last season. Liverpool will play eight different opponents in the group stage – with a trip to AC Milan on Tuesday week in a repeat of the 2005 and 2007 finals.
Arne Slot’s side also host Bologna, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid and Lille during the first stage and travel to RB Leipzig and Girona before finishing at PSV Eindhoven in late January.
Liverpool have now chosen a squad of 24 players who will represent them at the tournament.
The list includes new signing Federico Chiesa and Academy youngsters Tom Hill, Amara Nallo and Trey Nyoni, the 17-year-old midfielder broke into the first team and impressed on the US tour this summer.
However, Harvey Elliott, Jarell Quansah and Conor Bradley are missing from the list, the trio while eligible can instead be named in ‘List B’ due to their ages and club-trained status.
