Liverpool has appointed a much-changing traveling team for their Champions League trip to Eindhoven to tackle PSV, but registration problems mean that there is no room for Rio Ngumoha.
A number of senior stars have stayed at home, so that they can prepare for a busy few days of domestic competition. The Reds are opposed to Bournemouth on Saturday in the Premier League, followed by the second stage of their semi-final of the Carabao Cup against Tottenham.
With the team of Arne Slot guaranteed a top-two finish in the new competition phase of the Champions League, European football is considered a little less priority this week. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold belong to those who stay at home, with a number of young people who become members of more senior figures, including Andy Robertson and Darwin Nunez in the traveling group.
The will of Trey Nyoni, Jayden Danns and Amara Nallo are all available in the Netherlands, because Slot seems to be retaining to retain the undefeated Champions League record of his team. After not mentioning Ngumoha in the 'A' team for the competition, the young person misses.
The Champions League 'A' team is mentioned at the start of the season and includes the senior stars that a manager wants to be able to use in the competition. Players born after January 1, 2003 can be included in the 'B' team, but only if they have been at their club for two or more years.
Teenagers Nallo and Nyoni were both included in the 'A' team, who joined West Ham and Leicester in 2023.
The 16-year-old made his senior Liverpool debut in the third round of the FA Cup and became the youngest starter ever in the victory over AcCR andSton Stanley. However, if he will give up in Europe this season, he must be added to the 'A' list for the knockout phases.
Speaking with reporters prior to Wednesday's game, Slot rejected suggestions that travel to the Netherlands have a point to prove. “They don't have to prove themselves, we know what the quality is for the players who will play tomorrow,” he said Tuesday.
“Like all teams in Europe, many, many, many, many games and these players are ready. All those who had lagged behind can play tomorrow, but for the long term – so it tells you nothing about the short term, Does not tell us anything about Saturday's game – but for the long term, when you look back on our season, it has been almost every time after three or four or five weeks when there was a competition cup or a FA cup cup [game]If there was a moment for them to get some freshness back, we have always done that. “
Thanks to their top-two competition-finish, Liverpool will take on the winner of a play-off between teams between the 15th and 18th in the competition phase. PSV itself could end in such a play-off, with the side of Peter Bosz was 19th for the visit of the Premier League leaders.
