Team
News & Injuries / Availability
Liverpool
- Alexander Isak
is set to be involved in the squad and could make his Liverpool debut
in this match. However, he is not yet fit to play the full 90 minutes,
so likely to feature as a substitute or with limited time.
- Curtis Jones
remains out due to injury.
- Alexis Mac Allister
suffered a challenge in the weekend game and was substituted. He is
expected to be available but may not start or might be managed carefully.
- Federico Chiesa
is not in the Champions League squad, so won’t feature.
Atlético
Madrid
- Julián Álvarez
is unavailable due to a knee injury, ruled out for this match.
- David Hancko,
Robin Le Normand, and Nicolás González all picked up fitness
issues over the weekend. Some are travelling but may be doubtful; others
are unlikely to start.
- José María Giménez,
Thiago Almada, Álex Baena, and Johnny Cardoso are
also missing or doubtful. That weakens both their defensive back-line
depth and attacking options.
Broadcast
/ Live-Stream Info
- The match will be broadcast on the usual Champions
League rights holders in the UK (e.g. TNT Sports or whichever
broadcaster holds UCL rights).
- International viewers will need to check local
broadcasters – many European countries have their platforms or sports
channels with rights.
- Official streaming via UEFA or partner services may
apply depending on region. If you tell me your country, I can try to find
exactly which service you can use locally.
