Liverpool’s squad for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Basle has been announced, and it makes for interesting reading.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has left defender Mamadou Sakho out of his squad for Wednesday’s crucial Champions League game against Basle.
The 24-year-old Frenchman has presumably been axed for disciplinary reasons, after he left Anfield prior to Saturday’s Merseyside derby with Everton, having been left out of the matchday squad.
Sakho’s omission raises more question marks about his future at the club, with Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren clearly Rodgers’ preferred centre-back pairing at the moment, and Kolo Toure third-choice.
The other noticeable absentee for the trip to Switzerland is Daniel Sturridge, who has failed to recover from the hamstring injury that has kept him out since the start of the month.
It is unknown whether the 25-year-old will be back in time for Saturday’s clash with West Brom at Anfield, but with another international break looming, it will be interesting to see how Rodgers deals with the situation.
Will he risk his star striker picking up a further knock on England duty once again?
Confirmation of Liverpool’s full squad ahead of Wednesday’s game will be announced on the site shortly.
