Liverpool name travelling squad for PSV clash in Champions League as Mohamed Salah decision made | OneFootball

Slot will name a youthful side in Eindhoven

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are among the Liverpool stars who will be rested for the Champions League clash against PSV on Wednesday night.

Ryan Gravenberch, Ibrahima Konate and Trent Alexander-Arnold have also been left at home, along with the likes of Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Alisson’s absence means that Caoimhin Kelleher looks start in goal, while Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas have both made the trip to Eindhoven.

Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez are also among the small number of regular first-team stars to be involved in the squad, and Federico Chiesa will be hoping for a rare start out wide.

Liverpool face a difficult trip to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday, as they look to maintain their six-point gap at the top of the table.

Slot’s side then have the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie against Tottenham in midweek, when they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit, to continue a hectic fixture list.

There are also key matches against Everton, Manchester City and Newcastle to come in November, so it is no surprise that Slot has opted to rest the majority of his first-choice lineup in Eindhoven.

Liverpool have won all seven of their Champions League matches so far and will finish in the top two of the table regardless of the result against PSV.

Liverpool travelling squad to face PSV:

Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Gakpo, Elliott, Tsimikas, Robertson, Kone-Doherty, Mabaya, McConnell, Jaros, Kelleher, Nallo, Morrison, Danns, Norris, Quansah, Morton, Bradley, Davies, Nyoni.
