The Dutch coach Arne Slot, the head coach of Liverpool, has settled on the team's squad to face Galatasaray in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, which will be held at Rams Park.

The squad includes the Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, while goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss the match due to an injury he recently sustained during team training, prompting the club to avoid risking him, thus giving his teammate Giorgi Mamardashvili the opportunity to participate in the European champions' encounter.

Liverpool's squad to face Galatasaray includes: 

Goalkeepers: Mamardashvili - Woodman - Meslier.

Defense: Van Dijk - Konate - Robertson - Kerkez - Frimpong - Joe Gomez.

Midfield: Szoboszlai - Wirtz - Mac Allister - Gravenberch - Curtis Jones - Noni - Nalo - Morrison.

Attack: Mohamed Salah - Hugo Ekitike - Cody Gakpo - Njomuha.

Slot hopes his team can achieve a strong start in this stage of the European championship, especially given the importance of the away match, which could largely determine the team's path to qualifying for the quarter-finals.

The Galatasaray match comes after a series of mixed results for the team in the English Premier League, where the Dutch coach aims to boost the players' confidence and restore harmony among the team members before a crucial match in the continental tournament.

Liverpool relies on the experience of its big stars like Salah, Van Dijk, and Robertson, along with emerging talents, to ensure a positive result away from home, paving the way for the return leg at Anfield in the UEFA Champions League competition.
