The Reds have confirmed their 20-man travelling squad for the Club World Cup in Qatar
Jurgen Klopp and his men board to Qatar today [Sunday] ahead of entering the tournament at the semi-final stage on Wednesday.
Youngsters Rhian Brewster, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Neco Williams had originally been named in the travelling squad but only Williams has been retained.
Dejan Lovren will not take part due to a muscle injury he suffered against Salzburg earlier this week, but Georginio Wijnaldum was included despite his withdrawal in the second half of their win over Watford on Saturday.
The Reds will enter the competition in the semi-finals stages where they face Monterrey - the game which comes just 24 hours after an EFL Cup quarter-final against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
The EFL [Carabao] Cup tie will be managed by Reds' U23 boss Neil Critchley and will feature mostly youngsters from the youth ranks.
Confirmed Club World Cup squad: Alisson, Henderson, Milner, Van Dijk, Wijnaldum, Robertson, Keita, Firmino, Mane, Salah, Gomez, Adrian, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Lonergan, Shaqiri, Origi, Jones, Alexander-Arnold, Williams.
