Ex-Golden Eaglets Trainee Will Not Make Champions League Debut For Liverpool Vs Spartak

Former Golden Eaglets trainee Ovie Ejaria has to wait until October before learning if he'll make his UEFA Champions League debut for Liverpool as he has been left out of their traveling party to the Russian capital.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has omitted the England youth-teamer from the provisional squad to face Spartak Moscow at the Otkrytiye Arena (Moskva) on Tuesday night.

Ejaria was also snubbed by the German for the opening round of matches in Group E against Sevilla about two weeks ago.

England U21 star Dominic Solanke has been named in Liverpool's 21-man squad, but there is no place for exciting young winger Bobby Adekanye, who is eligible to play in the competition having spent more than two years at Anfield.

If Solanke features against Spartak, he is likely to be introduced off the bench, with the likes of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, Daniel Sturridge and Sadio Mané ahead of him in the pecking order of strikers.

Liverpool Provisional Squad : Karius, Mignolet, Ward, Lovren, Klavan, Moreno, Robertson, Matip, Flanagan, Alexander-Arnold, Wijnaldum, Milner, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Can, Firmino, Coutinho, Salah, Sturridge, Mane, Solanke
