Liverpool confirm squad for Champions League final vs Real Madrid

Liverpool FC

Jurgen Klopp named a 24-man squad as Liverpool travelled to Kiev on Thursday ahead of their Champions League clash Real Madrid.

The Reds will be looking to secure their sixth European Cup in an illustrious history, whilst Klopp could be just the fourth Liverpool manager to lead them to European glory.

The Reds have had to endure injuries to many players on the way to the final – with Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all ruled out for the season, meaning the squad sees the inclusion of several youngsters mixed in with the first-team.

Meanwhile, Emre Can has made a surprise recovery from injury to put himself into contention for Klopp’s side on Saturday.

Youth prospects Nathaniel Phillips, Ben Woodburn, Curtis Jones and Rafa Camacho have all been included in the squad.

Klopp will host his final pre-match press conference ahead of the clash at 3.15pm (BST) on Friday, followed by an open training session held at the stadium later that day.
