Ryan Gravenberch was the main new absentee as Liverpool named a 22-man squad for the Champions League clash at Fenerbahce on Wednesday evening.
Gravenberch, who failed to get off the bench in the weekend Premier League home defeat to Arsenal, is missing the trip to Turkey due to a heel problem.
It is the latest setback for the Netherlands international having already served a domestic suspension following his red card against Manchester City last month and seen his regular starting role threatened by the revitalised Alexis Mac Allister and the emergence of Trey Nyoni.
There were no further surprises in the party that flew out from Merseyside to Istanbul on Tuesday morning for the fixture, with Liverpool looking to extend their 100% start to the Champions League campaign after three previous victories.
