Chiesa & Endo left out of Liverpool's Champions League squad
Liverpool leave Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo out of their 25-man squad for the league phase of the Champions League.
Liverpool have omitted Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo from their 25-man squad for the league phase of the Champions League. Chiesa, who joined the Reds from Juventus in August 2024, is currently injured and is expected to return to training during the upcoming international break. Endo, a 33-year-old Japan midfielder, has been an unused substitute in Liverpool's two league games this season, and has been replaced by 21-year-old James McConnell.
Defenders Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley, as well as striker Hugo Ekitike, have been included in the squad despite recovering from long-term injuries. Reds boss Andoni Iraola revealed during a press conference that Leoni could return to training during the September international break, but Bradley and Ekitike are still some way from coming back.
Liverpool's Champions League campaign begins with a home game against Atletico Madrid on September 9th (20:00 BST).
