LIVERPOOL have announced their squad for the Europa League\u00a0– with\u00a0Jurgen Klopp\u00a0forced to leave Adrian\u00a0out.<\/strong><\/p>\n Youngster Ben Doak swooped in to snatch the "A list" place due to\u00a0UEFA rules pushing him into the Red's senior squad.<\/p>\n Liverpool will spend their first campaign outside of the\u00a0Champions League since 2016.<\/p>\n Doak, 17, has made the headlines recently for the Scotland U21 team after his impressive performance against Spain went viral.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Premier League winner and third-choice shot-stopper Adrian has been exiled from the Europa League team sheet.<\/p>\n The deadline recently passed for clubs to provide their squad list to UEFA, with a maximum of 25 players permitted to be on the A list of players.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A minimum of eight of those spots must be allocated to "locally trained" players – with a maximum of four "association trained".<\/p>\n This means Liverpool had to elect eight players who were trained by clubs from the same national league from ages 15-21-with four of them being from the club's own youth system. <\/p>\n Teams can also register an unlimited number of players on their B list, which comprises players born on or after January 1st, 2002, who have spent at least two years at their respective clubs.<\/p>\n Those restrictions left Klopp with a tough decision to make as he was required to cut one foreign player from his selection following the signing of\u00a0Ryan Gravenberch.<\/p>\n <\/picture>JUVE SHOCK <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>Eng business <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>TON THE MOVE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>WINGING IT <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Unlucky for Adrian he was the chosen man to be swiped from the squad.<\/p>\n But lucky for teen Doak, who turns 18 in November, and has only been registered with Liverpool since the summer of 2022, he is neither List B eligible or considered \u2018locally trained\u2019.<\/p>\n The Liverpool starlet spent his youth career at Scottish sides Ayr United and Celtic.<\/p>\n And with Scotland not being part of the English FA, Doak had to take up one of 17 "foreign" slots in Liverpool\u2019s squad for the\u00a0Europa League.<\/p>\n Adrian still has hope as a loophole in the UEFA rule book confirms he could feature in the event of long-term injury to\u00a0Alisson\u00a0or\u00a0Caoimhin Kelleher.<\/p>\n Otherwise, there are no surprises in Liverpool\u2019s squad to play in the double-headers with LASK, Union SG and Toulouse.<\/p>\n The Reds were drawn in Group E and will get their campaign underway at LASK on September 21st.<\/p>\n
