Liverpool have confirmed their 23-man travelling squad for the Champions League clash with LASK in Austria, with Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai all ruled out through injury.
Isak picked up a thigh problem on international duty with Sweden, Gakpo hurt his ankle playing for the Netherlands, and Szoboszlai has a hamstring complaint. All three are among the key casualties from the injury toll that has left Liverpool short for the midweek trip.
Long-term absentees Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni remain out, while Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa have not been named in the Champions League squad for the league stage.
The squad has been bolstered by Academy youngsters Wellity Lucky and Josh Sonni-Lambie, alongside fellow academy products Jayden Danns, James McConnell and Luke Chambers. Danns and McConnell last started in Europe for Liverpool when losing 3-2 at PSV Eindhoven in January 2025.
Liverpool travel to Austria on Tuesday afternoon ahead of Wednesday’s match.
