Liverpool will advance with two matches remaining in Group E if it can secure a 5-1 home victory and then triumph away at Toulouse. Even a position in the group standings could be secured by Jürgen Klopp’s squad if Union SG is unable to secure a victory away at LASK.

Liverpool has been implementing a substantial rotation policy for this competition, and securing early passage to the elimination stages would grant it an even greater incentive to continue doing so. In the midst of a stretch in which both Manchester City and Manchester United have competed in Premier League matches, that would be an enormous lift for Klopp and his staff.

However, as a result, will Liverpool deploy an exceptionally formidable squad in the hopes of conducting business as usual? Weekend preparations also include the match against Brentford, where Klopp will attempt to rebound from the lackluster stalemate at Luton.

Certain departments will require him to raise his hand. Specifically, the midfield continues to be beset by persistent problems, as Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajetić remain suspended and represent Spain.

Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch have also been added to the list of absentees, as Liverpool has now confirmed its squad for the trip to France. Jones, who was absent from the most recent training photographs along with his Dutch companion, was unable to participate over the weekend due to a’minor’issue. This situation restricts Klopp’s alternatives and may result in Alexis Mac Allister making an uncommon debut at number eight.

Even more unexpectedly, Virgil van Dijk has been excluded from the traveling party. While the Liverpool captain participated in training on Wednesday, he will remain at home alongside Jones and Gravenberch. Klopp stated at his press conference that the Reds player was unable to board the aircraft due to a minor illness.

Andy Robertson continues to be sidelined in the defense after sustaining a shoulder injury while on international duty with Scotland. Following that, he underwent surgery. Conversely, Conor Bradley remains sidelined as well.

It appears to be a complete complement for Klopp to utilize in the attacking formation. Following his return from injury, Ben Doak has yet to make his debut, but he appears to have a strong chance of doing so here. Luis Díaz, meanwhile, assessed his readiness to participate in the Premier League over the weekend despite the ongoing circumstances concerning his father. He is expected to return to action.

In addition, a considerable number of young people are accompanying the Reds to France. In addition to Jarell Quansah, Luke Chambers, Calum Scanlon, and James McConnell, Fabian Mrozek has been named among the goalkeepers.

Another concern is how many of his senior options Klopp elects to utilize. Liverpool.com provides the complete roster of players at the manager’s disposal as the Reds attempt to advance with sufficient time from Group E.
