MatchLiverpool v Galatasaray: Champions League team news

The Reds will try to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the tie after suffering defeat at RAMS Park in Istanbul last Tuesday.

Head coach Arne Slot can call upon Ibrahima Konate again after the defender was unused against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday due to hamstring 'discomfort'.

Slot told his pre-match press conference: "Yeah, he is at this moment of time [ready to play].

"The day after the game is recovery, if you play so many games with only two days of rest in between you cannot do a lot but he is declared completely fit, he doesn't feel the discomfort anymore.

"So, then he is ready to start and hopefully fulfil 90 minutes or, if needed, even longer. But that's what we have to find out tomorrow."

Joe Gomez, however, is a doubt for the contest and will be assessed regarding his involvement after missing training on Tuesday.

Slot explained: "He wasn't ready to train, he had too much issues after our last game, although he had these issues already after the Galatasaray game [and] wasn't planned to play against Tottenham, but unfortunately Ibou got discomfort in his hamstring so we couldn't take the risk of playing him.

"That's why Joe had to play and that has built up so much that now he's a bit of a doubt for tomorrow. But he's going to try tomorrow, to see if he is available."

Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and Virgil van Dijk are each one yellow card away from a ban in the first leg of a potential quarter-final tie.

Long-term absentees Stefan Bajcetic, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni all remain sidelined for Liverpool.

Alexander Isak undertook an individual session and was pictured running outside at the AXA Training Centre ahead of the Galatasaray fixture, as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury.

Slot, though, confirmed the striker won't be available to face the Turkish club or for this weekend's trip to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.

Opponents Galatasaray will be without Davinson Sanchez against the Reds as the centre-back serves a one-match suspension.

Arda Unyay remains absent due to injury, having been missing in recent months, while young goalkeeper Enes Buyuk is also out due to a shoulder injury.

The visitors named the below 23-man travelling squad on Tuesday afternoon for the match.
