Curtis Jones, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez are among the internationals to make the cut.

One name that is surprisingly missing from the squad sheet, however, is that of Liverpool’s 21-year-old young gem Harvey Elliott.

No disrespect meant to the young Manchester United star, but our No.19 has proven his credentials far more consistently this season.
More to the point, he’s been playing below his level internationally for quite some time now.

On the plus side, at least it ensures Elliott has a clean break from the demands of competitive football.
