Overview

• Liverpool named a 21-man travelling squad for Istanbul that did not include Federico Chiesa.
• Arne Slot said Chiesa picked up a minor issue versus Crystal Palace and could not complete Monday’s training, so the club opted not to take him.
• Chiesa was recently added to the Champions League list after Giovanni Leoni suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
• Teenage forward Jayden Danns also missed the trip after being injured in an U21 match over the weekend.
• With 21 players taken, Liverpool will have 10 substitutes for the match, and Hugo Ekitike is expected to return after a suspension.
