Alexander Isak has been named in the 21-man traveling party as Liverpool takes on PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday, with Arne Slot's side hoping to qualify for the semi-finals.
Alisson Becker remains absent and won't feature in the return leg either, but there were no unexpected players missing from the open training session that the Reds conducted earlier on Tuesday. Isak could make his first appearance since breaking his leg in the act of scoring against Tottenham in December.
Liverpool traveling squad in full: Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Isak, Mac Allister, Salah, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Ekitike, Mamardashvili, Robertson, Woodman, Frimpong, Gravenberch, Nyoni, Ngumoha, Misciur.

Arne Slot will preview the game at 6.30pm UK time (1.30pm ET) in a press conference from Paris. In that, he is likely to be asked about how his side can bounce back from losing heavily at Manchester City on Saturday.
"I don’t think you have to ask me about the result, because that speaks for itself — that’s an unbelievable disappointment," he admitted at the Etihad Stadium.
"Losing is already a disappointment, losing with 4-0 and in the quarter-final of the FA Cup against a team which Liverpool played so many times great games against — or fights against — and then losing 4-0 is, of course, a big disappointment. The 20 minutes where we conceded four goals were not of our standards."
On being able to beat PSG midweek with the same group of players, who Virgil van Dijk later admitted had given up in the second half of the FA Cup tie, he was also bullish.
"It’s also very crucial that we qualify for the Champions League of course for next season," Slot said. "There are only three or four days to go, so there are a few things you can do.
"One of the things we need to do if we play against Paris Saint-Germain or against Man City – teams of this level – you need to defend better than we did in the 20 minutes when we conceded the four goals.
"I think no one will probably remember it but [in] the first 35 minutes there was a lot to like from my team. And it would be nice if we then can score a goal once in a while as well from the chances we create.
"And, again, we faced a team that was outperforming their xG by a mile, and that’s what happens constantly. And we every time are under that. But if you want to have a chance of beating Paris Saint-Germain, you have to do both parts better.
"If you generate chances, you have to score. And you cannot be so easily beaten with the four goals; three, because the penalty was between the other goals we conceded."
