Liverpool kicks off Europe with Simeone test

Liverpool launch their Champions League campaign at Anfield against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, with Alexander Isak primed for his $169m debut. Training showed him linking up with Mohamed Salah, while Federico Chiesa stays sidelined and Curtis Jones remains out.

Thankfully, Alexis Mac Allister is back in the mix — and if Liverpool’s midfield options keep changing this fast, Arne Slot might need a revolving door installed at the AXA Training Centre.
