• ‘Without them we would have been lost,’ manager says

The Liverpool manager could give several youngsters their Champions League debuts at FC Midtjylland on Wednesday with Group D on and senior players in the midst of a gruelling schedule. Kelleher is again expected to start in Alisson’s absence, having impressed against Ajax and Wolves.
