Liverpool XI vs LASK: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury are the piayer for Europa League game today

Reds captain Virgil van Dijk

  s now available after serving a two-game domestic ban, extended for using abusive language towards a referee, and comes into the team in Austria, Trent Alexander-Arnold has not shaken off a hamstring injury in time to join him. Stefan Bajcetic starts at right-back.

Young defender Jarell Quansah impressed against Wolves but does not keep his place, with Ibrahima Konate partnering Van Dijk, but summer signings Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch do start alongside Harvey Elliott in midfield. Thiago Alcantara is still out with a hip injury.

Klopp offers Ben Doak a start just days after the talented forward signed a new contract at Anfield. Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz are also involved in the front three, with Mohamed Salah, Alexis Mac Allister and Andy Robertson among those on a very strong Liverpool bench.

Liverpool XI: Kelleher, Bajcetic, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Endo, Gravenberch, Elliott, Doak, Diaz, Nun

Ryan Gravenberch‘s full Liverpool debut was cut short in Austria after being taken off with an injury and the boss was on hand to provide an assessment post-match.

The Reds kicked off their Europa League campaign with a 3-1 victory away to LASK having gone a goal behind to an early Florian Flecker strike

Goals from Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah sent the side home with all three points, but Gravenberch’s night ended prematurely as he was replaced by Salah with 15 minutes to play.

Jurgen Klopp told TNT Sports after the game that the Dutchman was suffering from cramp that simply stemmed from a lack of competitive minutes in recent weeks.

Gravenberch marked his first start for the club with an assist for Luis Diaz that put the Reds in front shortly after the hour but went down with a complaint shortly after an attempted through ball.Klopp added after the game: “Ryan played a super game and was really decisive for us.”

The Dutchman will be hoping to get back out onto the pitch sooner rather than later in an attempt to establish himself within the Liverpool midfield.
