Special centre-back could make Champions League debut for Liverpool

Liverpool are entering this game on the back of an extremely poor run and amidst a number of injuries. Wataru Endo, Cody Gakpo, Jeremie Frimpong and Federico Chiesa are all unavailable.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah has been omitted due to his comments after the Leeds United game.

It means that the Reds have named a small squad. Only 19 players will be travelling to Milan and three of them are merely kids.

Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha could be in line for action.

But the most intriguing inclusion has been that of Wellity Lucky's. The 19-year-old defender already made his debut for the Reds in the League Cup this season, and he is very highly regarded.

He signed a three year contract extension with Liverpool in the summer despite having interest from Manchester City, Real Madrid and many other top European clubs.
