Liverpool have promoted defender Amara Nallo from List B of their Champions League squad ahead of the visit of Qarabag on Wednesday night. Nallo, 19, has been added to Arne Slot's senior group who will be without six defenders for the Anfield clash.

With Joe Gomez absent having taken a knock from Alisson Becker during the weekend defeat at Bournemouth, and Ibrahima Konate missing his third match in a row on compassionate leave following the death of his father, either Ryan Gravenberch or Wataru Endo are expected to partner Virgil van Dijk in defence.

One of the duo, who usually play in midfield, will step into the breach as the Reds are also without summer signing Giovanni Leoni, who remains sidelined with the ACL injury he suffered on his debut back in September.

OPINION

Wellity Lucky, who like Nallo was promoted from List B - which is only open to players born on or after January 1, 2004 who have been at the club for at least two years since...
