Liverpool squad: Alisson, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Wijnaldum, Lovren, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Mane, Salah, Gomez, Adrian, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Brewster, Robertson, Origi, Kelleher.

Mohamed Salah has made a return to the Liverpool squad for Wednesday’s Champions League game at Genk after missing the match against Manchester United on Sunday.

However, Full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold (virus) and fellow defender Joel Matip (sore knee) will remain on Merseyside.

Liverpool are placed second in Group E with three points from two games. They lost to Napoli in the opener before narrowly beating Salzburg at home in their second game.

Joe Gomez is likely to replace Alexander-Arnold at right-back with Croatia centre-back Dejan Lovren poised to play alongside Virgil van Dijk in place of Matip.

The match at Genk is the first of two back-to-back fixtures against the Belgian side.
